Educational Tutorial: Fabry-Pérot Interferometer

Abstract

This educational tutorial provides a comprehensive, step-by-step introduction to VirtualLab Fusion, focusing on the simulation and analysis of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. Designed for beginners, the tutorial assumes no prior knowledge of the software, making it an ideal starting point for users seeking hands-on experience. Through clear instructions and practical examples, participants will gain fundamental skills in setting up and running simulations within VirtualLab Fusion.

By the end of the tutorial, users will already feel confident in using the software, and further explanations and theoretical concepts will become much more accessible and easier to understand.
