Compensation of birefringence within integrated optical components using a CO/sub 2/ laser

Birefringence compensation by processing with a CO/sub 2/ laser is demonstrated in an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer fabricated in silica-on-silicon. The MZ response is matched for both polarisation states by using controlled laser ablation.
