摘要
We developed a Fabry-Perot etalon to select high-frequency parts of repetition-frequency modes of a short pulsed, mode-locked fiber laser at the wavelength of 1.55 mu m. The 2 GHz repetition-modified laser is transmitted to an unbalanced Michelson interferometer with gauge blocks wrung on a platen. Two interference fringes were generated from the gauge block and platen at different positions. The interference fringes have a temporal coherence pattern and can make positioning in space easy. The length of the gauge block was directly determined from different positions of the two interference fringes, without using the excess fractions method.
