PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

MZI-001

Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

The MZI-001 is a fiber pigtailed Mach-Zehnder free space interferometer that detects changes in optical frequency.

 

MAIN SPECIFICATIONS

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The MZI-001 free space Mach-Zehnder interferometer has two high speed photodetectors for the balanced detection of the two complementary outputs of the interferometer. The free space design eliminates much of the polarization sensitivity and free spectral range (FSR) uncertainty associated with fiber interferometers. The FSR, or zero-cross spacing, can be defined to within 2%. FSRs between 10 GHz and 100 GHz are available.

 

PRODUCT SOLUTIONS

Applications include determining the instantaneous frequencies of wavelength-swept light sources, providing a frequency clock for system triggering in OCT systems, detecting sensing signal spectral drift in fiber sensors, and detecting laser frequency drift in coherent communication systems.
