A construction of a low-coherence fiber-optic Fabry-Pérot interferometer using a thin ZnO layer as a reflective surfaces was proposed and examined. In the investigated setup, the ZnO layer of thickness 200 nm were deposited on the face of the standard telecommunication single-mode optical fiber (SMF-28). Measurements of interference signal were performed for the interferometer working in the transmission and reflective mode, as well. The measurements were performed for two wavelength (1300 nm and 1550 nm) for various length of the air cavity. The optimal parameters of the Fabry-Pérot cavity was chosen for achieving the best visibility of the interference signal in the both modes.
