Abstract
Conventional Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration is modified to enhan ce its stability from the vibrations. To study the effects of vibrations on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, we used spectral interference fringes fro m a broadband nanosecond dye laser source. We observed an improvement in th e stability of the interferometer by a factor of 3. (C) 1999 Optical Societ y of America.
