Fringe Visibility Enhanced Extrinsic Fabry–Perot Interferometer Using a Graded Index Fiber Collimator

We report a fringe visibility-enhanced extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) by fusion splicing a quarter-pitch length of a graded-index fiber (GIF) to the lead-in single mode fiber (SMF). The performance of the GIF collimator is theoretically analyzed using a ray matrix model and experimental...
