The figures are as follows:

 
Fig. 2:	Finesse versus mirror tilt angle, for different values of gap between the HCF end-facet and the mirror (0 um, column B; 2um, column C; 6 um, column D; 10 um, column E)
	Insertion loss versus mirror tilt angle, for different values of gap between the HCF end-facet and the mirror (0 um, column F; 2um, column G; 6 um, column H; 10 um, column I)
		
Fig. 3: 	Finesse (column B) and Insertion loss (column C) versus cleave angle of the HCF ends.

Fig. 4: 	Finesse versus HCF length for three values of the HCF loss ( 0.28 dB/km, column B;0.65 dB/km, column C; 1.3 dB/km, column D);
                Insertion loss versus HCF length for three values of the HCF loss ( 0.28 dB/km, column E;0.65 dB/km, column F; 1.3 dB/km, column G);
                delta_nu versus HCF length for three values of the HCF loss ( 0.28 dB/km, column H;0.65 dB/km, column I; 1.3 dB/km, column J);
                Q value versus HCF length for three values of the HCF loss ( 0.28 dB/km, column K;0.65 dB/km, column L; 1.3 dB/km, column M);

Fig. 6: 	RF spectra measured with the shortest (0.65 m, column A,B) and longest (9.25 m, column C,D) HCF-FP. 

Fig.7:	Measured values of HCF-FPs with different lengths: Finesse, column B; Insertion loss, column C;  delta_nu, column D;  Q value, column E;

Fig. 8: 	Transmission spectrum of the 9.25 m HCF-FP (column C) and through HCF only (by removing the two mirrors, column B) measured by OSA with 0.02 nm resolution;
                Fourier transform of normalised transmission spectrum (HCF-FP, column F; No mirror, column E).
