What does F-P stand for?

The topics are fundamentals of optical fibers, fiber sensitivities and devices, fiber gratings and related devices, distributed optical fiber sensors, fiber sensors with special applications, and the extrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer sensor.

The optical transmitters are high performance 1310nm Fabry-Perot lasers.

The major topics addressed include the derivation and explanation of governing equations that model the closely coupled physics processes in optoelectronic devices; numerical solution techniques for the governing equations arising from the first section, and how these techniques are jointly applied in device simulation; and real-world design and simulation examples of optoelectronic devices, such as Fabry-Perot and distributed feedback laser diodes, electro-absorption modulators, semiconductor optical amplifiers, superluminescent light emitting diodes, and their monolithic integrations.

Using the split-cylinder, split-post, and Fabry-Perot resonator methods, NIST scientists characterized substrates over a frequency range of 1 GHz to 60 GHz.

In some cases a swept diode laser or wideband source and swept fiber Fabry-Perot filter were used.
