We report on a germanium Fabry‐Perot interferometer heated with a Nd:YAG laser. The transmission property of the laser‐heated germanium Fabry‐Perot interferometer has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. The transmission of CO 2 laser through the germanium Fabry‐Perot interferometer varied with Nd:YAG laser heating. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The technique of laser‐heated germanium Fabry‐Perot interferometry is promising for applications in laser modulation and detection. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
