The optical theory of Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs) for x rays using dynamically diffracting thin perfect crystals as reflectors is developed. Application to a device using high diffraction orders in silicon crystals of thickness of the order of 100 {mu}m or more shows that energy resolutions of the order of a tenth of a meV are achievable. The effect that various features, such as gap and mirror thickness, lattice mismatches, etc., have on the FPI resonances is studied. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
