Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for calibrating a Fabry-Perot etalon based optical measurement system. The calibration is performed by analyzing the shape of transmission peaks output from the etalon in response to a known optical signal and using that information, along with a formula that approximates the response of the etalon, to perform the calibration.
