Monolithic Terahertz Topological Mach‐Zehnder Interferometer
A monolithic topological Mach‐Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is presented, integrating the splitter, combiner, and waveguide arms on a single chip. The interferometric fringes exhibiting high on‐off contrast with extinction ratios over 20 dB are achieved by utilizing tailored unit cells that facilitate interface‐dependent out‐of‐plane radiation losses ...
