Silicon-based interferometric sensor with phase modulation driven by surface acoustic waves

As a novel application of Silicon-based integrated optics, first result of a compact Mach-Zehnder interferometer are presented. This passive device is transformed into an active one by the deposition of a ZnO thin film transducer on the reference arm where the acousto-optics mechanism generates a sinusoidal phase modulation.
