Abstract
This article presents a demonstration of the interferometric characteristics inherent in an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI), implemented on a silicon-on-insulator platform through precision fabrication techniques. The investigation delves into the intricate relationship between the free spectral range (FSR) and various lengths of unbalanced MZIs. Notably, a comparison between simulation and experimental outcomes reveals a remarkable agreement.
