Hi all, I've had a question from a customer about an experiment we do with the MZ
interferometer. We put a Rubidium cell in one arm and measure the phase shift with
absorption. A write up here.

Done by guys at Caltech.
Anyway you can take the output from either side of the output beam-splitter.
The question: Is there anything to be learned from looking at both
complimentary outputs?
My response was not really, if you had a weak signal you could get a
bit more by subtracting the two outputs. But that's all I know of.
I told the customer I'd ask if there are any other uses.
Are there?
Thanks,
George H.
