  • Abstract
    The present paper shows an optical interferometer which operates only in the geometric phase, or Berry´s phase. In this system, the optical paths traversed by the two beams of light are always the same, and the difference in their phases can be varied by manipulating this geometrical phase. We also make a comparison of the interference pattern produced experimentally in the laboratory, and another one produced by a computer program.
