    The self-consistent calculation of the edge states at quantum Hall effect (QHE) based Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI)
    (Elsevier B.V., 2008) Siddiki, A.; Kavruk, A. E.; Öztürk, T.; Atav, U.; Şahin, M.; Hakioǧlu T.
    The spatial distribution of the incompressible edge states (IES) is obtained for a geometry which is topologically equivalent to an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, taking into account the electron-electron interactions within a Hartree type self-consistent model. The magnetic field dependence of these IES is investigated and it is found that an interference pattern may be observed if two IES merge or come very close, near the quantum point contacts. Our calculations demonstrate that, being in a quantized Hall plateau does not guarantee observing the interference behavior.

    Tunable ring-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on lithium niobate
    (Taylor and Francis, 2014) Solmaz, M. E.
    The fabrication and characterization are reported of a Fano resonance-based electro-optically tunable ring resonator-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer device based on a chalcogenide-lithium niobate hybrid waveguide system. The experiments reveal inherent asymmetric lineshapes that can be flipped to a near symmetrical resonance by applying a dc voltage of ~10 V across the electrode at the MZI non-resonator arm. Further increase in voltage yields the reverse of initial asymmetry. The optical filter-based transfer-matrix model easily explains the experimental data and indicates ways to further enhance the usability of such architecture. © 2014 Taylor and Francis.
