## Abstract We introduce a novel technique to monitor the optical signal‐to‐noise ratio (OSNR) using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The error of the novel method is less than 0.5 dB when the OSNR is between 10 and 40 dB in the best working case. In practice, the dynamic range reduces to 10–30 dB be

## Abstract We propose a novel optical instrument to simultaneously measure the phase variations of both orthogonal linear polarizations in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. An integrated Ti‐indiffused LiNbO~3~ Mach–Zehnder modulator is adopted for phase modulation and the optical homodyne scheme is u
This paper investigates switching of one beam by another in a Kerr type nonlinear Mach-Zehnder interferometer (NMZI) with two input ports and one output port. The present investigation has been carried out using the beam propagation method (BPM). The paper presents a detailed account on the procedur
