Abstract :
A novel approach based on transmissive phase-modulated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to implement a virtual delay line interferometer (DLI) is proposed, designed, numerically simulated and fabricated. The resulting devices provide the functionality of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), or equivalently a Michelson-Morley interferometer (MMI).
