Abstract
A compact (L approximate to 5 cm) spherical Fabry-Perot interferometer with adjustable mirror spacing is used to produce interference fringes with fre quency separation (c/2L)/N, N less than or similar to 20. These fringes are used as frequency markers in a Doppler-free saturation spectroscopy experi ment. The conditions for observation of the fringes are discussed in terms of the eigenmodes of the cavity with high transverse indices. (C) 2000 Amer ican Institute of Physics. [S0034- 6748(00)02508-9].
