A new design of a plane mirror Fabry-Perot interferometer with the mirror blanks freely supported by horizontal rings is described. Special attention is paid to the surface flatness and dielectric coatings of the mirrors. It is shown that any two piezoelectrically scanned Fabry-Perot interferometers can be synchronized in tandem operation using simple optics and standard electronic driving and stabilization equipment. Applications of the tandem system to Brillouin scattering are given. The observation of Brillouin spectra of supported thin plastic films and of a clamped metal surface is reported.
R6sum6-Nous donnons un a p e r p des mesures de la diffusion Brillouin prss d'une interface liquide-solide pour differents rapports des impgdances acoustiques des milieux. Nous avons examin6 116thanol, le polycarbonate et les metaux liquides mercure et gallium en contact avec un support de verre solide. Nous prgsentons quelques mesures am6lior6es sur les modes de Lamb et de Love dans les couches minces de polycarbonate sur un support de verre Pyrex. Nous analysons de f a~o n d6taillge une onde du type Stoneley 2 l'interface m6tal liquide-verre. Notre interf6rom5tre am6lior6 du type Fabry-P6rot B double passage est d6crit brisvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
