A simple all-fiber comb filter based on the combined effect of multimode interference and Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Abstract A polarization-dependent all-fiber comb filter based on a combination effect of multimode interference and Mach-Zehnder interferometer was proposed and demonstrated. The comb filter was composed with a short section of multimode fiber (MMF) fusion spliced with a conventional single mode fib...
