We consider an oscillating micromirror replacing one of the two fixed mirrors a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In this ideal optical set-up quantum oscillator is subjected to radiation pressure interaction travelling light waves, no cavity involved. This configuration shows that squeezed can be generated by pure scattering on system, without involving cavity. The squeezing detected at output port...

The fully quantum description of the two path interference a single photon in Mach–Zehnder interferometer is presented. interaction-free delayed-choice scenario proposed to test interference. Several schemes arrangements designed realize are considered.

The Mach–Zehnder intensity Modulator (MZM), named after Ludwig Mach and Zehnder, is based on the corresponding interferometer. It splits light into two counter-rotating partial beams, which are later recombined with a controlled phase difference. output of MZM depends difference interferometer paths. This usually adjusted by an electrical voltage applied to Phase Shifter (PS) placed in one arms...

The measurement of intense E-fields is a fundamental need in various research areas. Integrated optical E-field sensors (IOESs) have important advantages and are potentially suitable for intense E-field detection. This paper comprehensively reviews the development and applications of several types of IOESs over the last 30 years, including the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), coupler interfer...

Optical waveguides comprised of nanoporous materials are uniquely suited for on-chip sensing applications, because they allow for a target chemical or analyte to directly infiltrate the optical material that comprises the core of the waveguide. We describe here the fabrication and characterization of nanoporous waveguides, and demonstrate their usefulness in measuring small changes in refractiv...

We present a laboratory demonstration of the Kramers-Kronig relation between the resonant absorption and refractive index in rubidium gas. Our experiment uses a rubidium vapor cell in one arm of a simple Mach-Zehnder interferometer. As the laser frequency is scanned over an atomic resonance, the interferometer output is affected by variations of both the absorption and refractive index of the g...

Laser frequency noise is a significant noise source which couples into the main science measurement of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna via the mismatch between the interferometer arm lengths. In this paper we discuss the application of an unequal pathlength heterodyne Mach–Zehnder interferometer to measure and actively stablize the master laser frequency as used in LISA Pathfinder. In co...
