In a pendular Fabry-Perot interferometer the system placed inside one of the minimum of the optomechanical potential undergoes an escape if it crosses the point of sudden change of reflectivity near the top of the potential well. We demonstrate that the loss of information that occurs retaining only the sequence of escapes, rather than the full trajectory, is mild if suitable signal processing techniques are applied to reveal the noise intensity or the presence of a coherent signal.
