Title DIY Filter on a Chip: Assembling and Testing a Basic Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI)
Summary Build or work with a pre-made Mach-Zehnder Interferometer device on a silicon photonics platform. You will set it up with fiber-to-chip coupling and use tunable lasers to observe how the output light intensity changes with the interferometer’s arm length difference. By capturing the interference fringes, you will explore basic concepts of phase shifts, splitting ratios, and potential applications like optical filtering. This project emphasizes the essentials of wave interference and offers direct, visible results in the lab.
