Mach-zehnder Interferomter

[Rohan kattiParticipant]

I am working on design of a new all optical reversible gate using Mach-Zehnder Interferomter which is available as a component in Optisystem -13. Previously when i used MZI i would get the results by adjusting the delay of MZI randomly, but in the present case of reversible gates, i would like to know is there any specific procedure to adjust the ‘Delay’ of MZI . Kindly let me know how to adjust the values of the delay of MZI.

Thank You

I have the same question hope this answer could help me as well…

In our MZM Measured models including the LiNO3 model you can state the amplitude and phase values as a function of voltage. Here phase would act as a delay.

Is that what you are interested in?

@ Damian Marek : In the MZI, there is a phase change between the two arms of the interferometer, which is given by (2 * Pi * n)/Lambda, where n is the refractive index of the waveguide and lambda is the wavelength of the incoming signal, so how do we get a relationship between that theoritical phase shift and the delay parameter for the component MZI in Optisystem.

Hi Damian Marek;
what is the relation between delay and phase to achieve my required delay?
