Etalons, when used in transmission mode, have a series of transmittance peaks with periodic frequency spacing and are typically used in telecom for wavelength locking. Etalons are characterized by their Free Spectral Range (FSR) – the frequency spacing between peaks – and their Finesse – which essentially governs the shape of the transmission peaks. Etalon filters typically consist of a single spacer layer with two reflector stacks on either side.
