We have demonstrated mechanically induced Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI) based on a long-period fiber grating pair. The transmission spectra, the interference fringes, and the fringe spacing of the long-period fiber grating pairs have also been investigated experimently and analytically. The fringe spacings of the fabricated LPG pairs agree well with the theoretical results.

In this paper, it was manufactured an interferometric optical fiber sensor and measured partial discharge acoustic signal caused by defect of power facilities such as power cables, transformers and gas insulation. Acrylic and aluminium mandrels wound with fiber-optic were chosen as optical fiber sensor, Sagnac and Mach-Zehnder interferometers were chosen to detect discharge acoustic signals. The two fiber optic interferometers were identified by using the PZT. Discharge experimentation set in the discharge imitation cell in oil tank and the discharge phenomena was generated. Based on the experimental result, to detect the discharge acoustic signal, Sagnac interferometer can detect stably the acoustic signal than the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. It is shown that Sagnac optical fiber sensor can detect the discharge acoustic signals effectively.

자기변형 효과가 큰 Metallic glass 2605SC에 20cm의 광섬유를 붙여서 교류 자기장 측정을 위한 Mach-Zehnder형 광섬유 간섭계를 구성하였다. 능동 위상 추적 방법을 사용하여 간섭계의 위상차를 최대 측정감도를 갖는 $\pi$/2로 고정시킴으로써 온도 및 진동등의 영향에 의한 신호소멸 현상을 해결하였다. 0.2~2.0 KHz에서 주파수특성, dc bias의 영향 그리고 교류 자기장과 간섭계 출력 사이의 선형성을 조사하였다.

A Sagnac-type Mach-Zehnder interferometer(SMZI) is a very stable instrument with respect to phase drift because all optical paths can share common optical components. We have observed very stable interference fringes in single photon interference experiments with an extremely attenuated laser beam, and with heralded single photons prepared from polarization correlated photon pairs in type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The phase stability is measured to be about ${\pm}0.18$ rad for the SMZI, in contrast, conventional MZI showed the phase fluctuation of around ${\pm}1.02$ rad.

The influences of decorrelation on phase sensitivity are studied with a computer simulation based on the Bayesian theorem, when correlated photons produced by parametric down-conversion are incident on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Although the down-converted photons show a perfect correlation in the production process, this degree of correlation may be decreased by reflection, absorption, and scattering during propagation. It is found that this decorrelation results in phase sensitivity degradation, and that the sensitivity is related to the detector quantum efficiency. The results show that when the phase difference between the two paths is smaller the phase sensitivity is better. etter.

A guided-wave electro-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator was fabricated on X-cut LiNbO3 . The channel waveguides were formed by proton diffusion with self-aligned SiO2-cladding. A mach-Zehnder interferometric modulator with arm lengths of 7mm has been fabricated and tested at 0.6328${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Its modulation depth with V$\pi$ of only 3.5V was 85% and the 3dB bandwidth was 1.6KHz. For high speed operation, the electrode dimension should be reduced to have smaller R, L, and C.

We theoretically investigated dispersion tolerance of an optical duobinary transmitter employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical filter. Compared to the optical transmitter based on a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical delay interferometer by optimizing the applied voltage for improving the dispersion tolerance, the demonstrated duobinary transmitter provides improved receiver sensitivity and higher dispersion tolerance while maintaining narrow spectral bandwidth.
