Spectral changes in the Mach–Zehnder interferometer

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The spectral interference law for a Mach–Zehnder interferometer is derived and is used to illustrate spectral changes arising by interference between beams having different degrees of correlation. The results are compared with those pertaining to Young’s interference experiment. The use of this instrument to recover phase information is also investigated.
