Abstract
We report on a device capable of generating long optical path differen ces through the use of a combination of a tunable TE-TM converter and a phase shifter. The values that are achievable (similar to 4 mm) are approximately three times higher than those obtained with integrated i mbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers, with the additional advantage of low optical losses.
