Abstract
A method and system for obtaining photonic parameters. The system includes a computer, an optical source, a first and second optical fiber, a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) structure, and a detector. The computer includes a processor and memory. The optical source is constructed to emit light of a first optical mode and a second optical mode in response to an instruction by the computer. The first optical fiber receives the first or second optical mode. The MZI structure includes first and second pluralities MZIs and receives the first or second optical mode from the optical fiber. The second optical fiber receives light from the MZI structure. The detector is configured to receive light that propagated through the second optical fiber, generate image data and provide the image data to the computer. The computer obtains a plurality of photonic parameters based on the image data and initial guesses for the plurality of photonic parameters.
