If the dark sector exists and communicates with Standard Model through $U(1)$ mixing, it is possible that electromagnetism would have influence on matter fields in sector, so-called millicharge particles (mCPs). Furthermore, highest mCPs could be particles. Recently has been shown slowed down captured by earth. As a result, number density of accumulated underground enhanced several orders magni...

A new method of using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed by single-mode optical fibers to stabilize the frequency of a helium-neon laser has been studied. Preliminary experimental result of 5000-Hz linewidth within the time scale of 1 s is presented.

We realize a novel photonic microwave phase shifter/modulator based on a nonlinear optical loop mirror incorporating a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A near-linear phase shifter exceeding 180 degrees and a phase modulation with 2.5 Gbit/s baseband signal are obtained for a 10 GHz microwave signal by this proposed device.

A Bose-Einstein condensate is used as an atomic source for a high precision sensor. A 5×10^{6}  atom F=1 spinor condensate of ^{87}Rb is released into free fall for up to 750 ms and probed with a T=130  ms Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer based on Bragg transitions. The Bragg interferometer simultaneously addresses the three magnetic states |m_{f}=1,0,-1⟩, facilitating a simultaneous measuremen...

In this Letter we show that interferometers with unbalanced arm lengths can be balanced using optical elements with appropriate group delays. For matched group delays of the arms, the balanced interferometer becomes insensitive to the frequency noise of the source. For experimental illustration, a ring resonator is employed as a slow-light element to compensate the arm-length mismatch of a Mach...
