Shows a working device. Confocal optical cavity, one of the mirrors scans back and forward moved by a piezoelectric motor, this is called a "scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer".
Does not produce an interference pattern, only an on/off blob, which is then fed into an oscilloscope for analysis. The oscilloscope shows both the mirror displacement (which is given by a voltage) and the light detector output.

Fabry–Pérot interferometer by Codex 0 2026-10-05

A Fabry–Pérot interferometer uses multiple reflections between two nearly parallel surfaces. Its transmission peaks select narrow wavelength intervals; scanning the spacing or incidence angle can build an imaging spectral cube.
