A theoretical study of correlation phenomena in an optical Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) containing random elastic scatterers between the mirrors is presented. Among the correlation effects, we find a Lorentzian shaped correlation function between incident waves of different frequencies. For an FPI which contains moving scatterers between the mirrors (for example, scatterers embedded in a liquid), we calculated the intensity correlations between different times. Generally, the calculated intensity correlations are much broader than the corresponding correlations for bulk systems.
