In-Fiber Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Fabricated by Femtosecond Laser

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have demonstrated several MZIs based on two spaced 3-dB LPFGs with different interference lengths in conventional SMFs fabricated in air by femtosecond laser pulses with the duration of 200 fs and the repetition rate of 250 kHz. Experimental results show that the average fringe spatial period increases with the resonance wavelength, while decreases with the interference length in approximately inverse proportion. The dominant cladding mode interfering with core mode has been calculated. The MZI sensitivity on temperature, refractive index and strain with a length of 16mm has also been investigated.
