Scientific paper

The effects of the coating thickness on the physical performance of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FP) are investigated. The FP is modeled as three media separated by two thin films and not merely by two interfaces. It is shown that the transmitted intensity obeys an Airy function, but not the reflected intensity because of the appearance of a complex factor accounting for the coupling between the reflected waves in the coatings. The Stokes relations are generalized for this model. The paper studies the dependence of the phase lag of reflection in the coatings on the angle of incidence, which causes a shift in the position of the intensity maxima.
