What Is the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer?

The Mach-Zehnder interferometer is a type of interferometer that can be used to observe the relative phase shift changes caused by the beam emitted from a single light source split into two collimated beams through different paths and the medium. The instrument was named after the German physicists Ludwig Mach (son of Ernst Mach) and Ludwig Zinder. Zendell first proposed the idea in 1891, and later Mach published a paper in 1892 to refine the idea.
