Abstract
An interferometric system includes a polarization separation element (), a first polarization conversion element (), a Mach-Zehnder interferometer () including a first () and second () arms connected to one another by a first () and second () ends in order for a first and second beams () having the same polarization to pass through the interferometer in a reciprocal manner in opposite directions of propagation, respectively, so as to form a first and second interferometric beam (), a second polarization conversion element () for obtaining an interferometric beam (), the polarization of which is converted, a polarization-combining element (), and a detection element () suitable for detecting an output beam ().
