Fibre coupled dual-mode waveguide interferometer with $\lambda $/130 fringe spacing

Optics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

Predictions and measurements of a multimode waveguide interferometer operating in a fibre coupled, ``dual-mode'' regime are reported. With a 1.32 micrometer source, a complete switching cycle of the output beam is produced by a 10.0 nanometer incremental change in the 8.0 micrometer width of the hollow planar mirror waveguide. This equates to a fringe spacing of λ/130\sim\lambda /130. This is an order of magnitude smaller than previously reported results for this form of interferometer.
