A Mach-Zehnder interferometer for performing an optical function on a plurality of optical fibers is provided. The interferometer includes a first cane segment surrounding the optical fibers. The first cane segment (50) forms a first optical coupling region. The interferometer also includes a second cane segment surrounding the optical fibers. The second cane segment forms a second optical coupling region. A phase shift region (18, 20) is formed by a discontinuity between the first and second cane segments for exposing the optical fibers. The optical fibers are suspended between the first and second cane segments within the phase shift region. A substrate (42) is provided for supporting the optical fibers within the phase shift region. A glob of glass frit (44) is used to attach the fibers to the substrate.
L'invention concerne un interféromètre Mach-Zehnder servant à exécuter une fonction optique sur plusieurs fibres optiques. L'interféromètre comprend un premier segment de tige entourant les fibres optiques. Le premier segment de tige forme une première région de couplage optique. L'interféromètre comprend également un second segment de tige entourant les fibres optiques. Le second segment de tige forme une seconde région de couplage optique. Une région de décalage de phase est formée par une discontinuité entre le premier et le second segment de tige pour exposer les fibres optiques. Les fibres optiques sont suspendues entre le premier et le second segment de tige dans la région de décalage de phase. Un substrat sert de support aux fibres optiques dans la région de décalage de phase.
