  Etalons from LightMachinery Inc.
Solid etalons, air spaced etalons, piezo tunable etalons, LightMachinery has extensive expertise in the manufacturing and testing of all kinds of Fabry Perot etalons from 1mm square to 100mm in diameter.
The spacers need to be made to etalon tolerances since the spacer determines the separation and tilt between the two end plates.
A tunable Fabry Perot etalon uses piezo electric cylinders to adjust the size of the air gap and sweep the peaks of the etalon.

 Method of manufacturing etalon - Patent 6942812
Then, a gas having a chemical reactivity with respect to a material of the etalon base plate is introduced into the process chamber, and a surface of the etalon base plate is etched for only a predetermined time corresponding to a thickness of the etalon base plate, thereby obtaining the etalon having a desired thickness.
In the solid type etalon, a peak wavelength of transmitted laser is determined by a thickness d of the etalon, a refraction index n of a material of the etalon and an incident angle θ of the laser beam with respect to the etalon.
The etalon base plate is installed in a reaction chamber, and a gas having a chemical reactivity with respect to the etalon base plate is introduced into the reaction chamber.

 Features of Lexel lasers: Single-frequency operation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In order to tune an etalon it is necessary to vary its effective length either by increasing the etalon tilt angle or by changing the index of refraction.
The air­spaced etalon consisting of two thin windows bonded to a hollow, thermally stable spacer was developed to overcome this difficulty.
Although the air-spaced etalon produced good thermal stability, the walk-off loss that accompanies the required angular tuning and the additional reflection losses caused by the two extra optical surfaces often result in reduced laser power.

 Fabry-Pérot interferometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Technically the former is an etalon and the latter is an interferometer, but the terminology is often used inconsistently.) Its transmission spectrum as a function of wavelength exhibits peaks of large transmission corresponding to resonances of the etalon.
Etalons are widely used in telecommunications, lasers and spectroscopy for controlling and measuring the wavelength of light.
The varying transmission function of an etalon is caused by interference between the multiple reflections of light between the two reflecting surfaces.

 Etalon Reduction
Etalon fringes consist of periodic ripple in the transmitted laser power.
This ripple is usually the factor that limits the sensitivity of a diode laser measurement of a trace gas concentration.
Etalon fringes arise when light follows two paths from the laser to the detector.

 Improved Etalon-Type Fiber-Optic Hydrogen Sensors
In this configuration, light would be delivered to the etalon from a remote source via a first optical fiber, and light transmitted through the etalon would be delivered to the photodetector(s) or spectrometer via a second optical fiber.
In this case, the etalon could be fabricated on the polished output end of the first optical fiber, and the airgap would lie between the etalon and the input end of the second optical fiber.
(Alternatively, the etalon could be fabricated on the end of the second optical fiber.) The core of the second fiber would be made wider than the core of the first fiber so that the second fiber could capture all of the transmitted light, without need for a collimating and a focusing lens.

Etalon are a Soviet / Russian family (Etalon-1, Etalon-2) of passive geodetic satellites dedicated to satellite laser ranging.
The Etalon spacecraft were launched in 1989 in conjunction with a pair of GLObal'naya NAvigatisionnay Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS) satellites.
The mission objectives were to determine a high accuracy terrestrial reference frame and earth rotation parameters; to improve the gravity field, and to improve the gravitational constant.

 Etalon's Musicante Examplissimo Amplifier Review By Jeff Rabin
Etalon defines their integrated as a 'power amplifier with integrated passive amplifier,' believing that there are impossible sacrifices to be made by incorporating an active pre-amplifier in the same box as the power amplifier.
And because the Etalon speakers I was using with the amplifier were not overly keen on classic rock (and I am, particularly in the morning) they were not fed that much.
Etalon is of course a very small manufacturer based in Budapest whose principal distributor in the way of the ever-ebullient Paulo Wang is in Brazil, but Mr.

 Etalon Fitting Routines
As the laser's frequency changes, it periodically comes into resonance with the etalon's mirror cavity: every gigahertz (roughly) we see a peak in transmission through the cavity.
If we record the transmission through the etalon while ramping the laser, we get a trace that can be described by an Airy function (5.1).
The source code for these fitting routines, which are now a part of the Etalon object, was half computer-translated from the UW Fortran code to C by f2c , and half hand-translated.

 Etalon Acoustics 'Carefully Handmade in Hungary' Medio Loudspeakers Review By Jeff Rabin
But if dear Albert were in the market for a pair of speakers, I submit, without reservation, that the father of the general theory of relativity would not go too far wrong with Etalon's Medio Loudspeakers.
And here is an example of Hi-Fi cosmopolitanism at is greatest: Etalon is a Hi-Fi company that comes to us from Hungary — a land where they play chess in the sauna — by way of an enthusiastic distributor in Brazil, a land where the girl from Ipanema certainly does not.

 Open Channel Foundation: Etalon Model
The model may be used to determine the sensitivity of the filter to temperature changes, thickness tolerances, or alignment angles of an etalon design.
The calculations are done for two etalons: The first etalon which is the collimated, untilted etalon, is placed in a collimated optical beam with the beam at normal incidence; the second etalon which is the uncollimated, tilted etalon is placed in a converging beam at non-normal incidence.
The program is intended to be used for comparison of measurements of an etalon in a collimated beam with the performance of the etalon in an alternative system.

 Wedged Etalon Simplifies Wavelength Tuning of Miniature Laser
The concept is to include a wedged etalon in the monolithic laser and to tune the laser’s wavelength by translating the entire laser transverse to the pump beam (Figure 1).
A wedged etalon — an etalon with a wedge-shaped gap between the two reflecting surfaces — is different in several ways from a conventional (parallel plate) Fabry-Perot etalon, and the investigators examined these differences to ensure that none would seriously impede the laser’s operation.
The ~2.5-mm-diameter etalon reflectors had reflectivities of 70 percent (the back surfaces were antireflection-coated), and wedged with a spacing that varied from 1.1 to 1.3 μm across the diameter.

 NPL Low Drift Etalon
The data was recorded by locking a single frequency laser to the transmission of each of the etalons and monitoring the resulting beat frequency between the test laser and an iodine stabilised He-Ne reference.
The NPL low drift etalon has extremely low overshoot and settles in a fraction of the time of conventional etalons.
The use of a longer etalon with accordingly lower free spectral range and sensitivity is sometimes used to reduce the effects of overshoot.

AIM's ad states "ETALON ammo is top lot ammunition where all parameters like gas pressure, accuracy, velocity and dimensions show the least tolerance fluctuation possible." I wonder how consistent this stuff really is, when one batch is loaded with 147-148 grain bullets and the next is loaded with 180 grain bullets.
The powder in the "old" Etalon stuff seems different from the powder in the "new" Etalon.
