Abstract

The invention provides a modulation type Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on a thermo-optic effect. A light source 1 serves as an incident end and is connected with an optical fiber taper 3-1 through a single-mode optical fiber 2-1; a section of biased double-core single-hole optical fiber 5 is welded between biased double-core optical fibers 4-1 and 4-2, and the two ends of each biased double-core optical fiber are connected with the optical fiber tapers 3-1 and an optical fiber taper 3-2 respectively, so that the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is formed; the other end of the optical fiber taper 3-2 is connected to a spectrograph 7; and an air hole of the biased double-core single-hole optical fiber is filled with liquid with a high thermo-optical coefficient, the biased double-core single-hole optical fiber is placed on a controllable electric heating device 6, and an electrode array on the controllable electric heating device is connected with a power supply control end 9 through a lead wire 8. The modulation type Mach-Zehnder interferometer applies a voltage to an electric heating sheet to cause the change of an effective refractive index of a fiber core close to the air hole in the optical fiber, so that the optical path difference is generated between the two fiber cores, and the modulation of output light is realized. The modulation type Mach-Zehnder interferometer has important application in the field of optical fiber sensing.
