Etalão

Portuguese to English Science Geology
Artigo de geologia. Algumas ocorrências:

"[...] com a ajuda de um etalão estandarte de rádio com teor de 0,1mg [...]"

"[...] a intensidade do etalão na distância 1,0m [...]"

"[...] distância entre o contador do aparelho e o etalão."

O texto é truncado assim mesmo - não estou omitindo muito do contexto, acreditem. Se puderem me ajudar, serei extremamente grata!

etalon or interferometer

Fabry-Pérot interferometer
In optics, a Fabry-Pérot interferometer or etalon is typically made of a transparent plate with two reflecting surfaces, or two parallel highly reflecting mirrors. (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. It is named after Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot. 'Etalon' is from the French étalon, meaning 'measuring gauge' or 'standard'.[1]
