Abstract
A high-visibility integrated optofluidic Mach–Zehnder interferometer based on liquid-core antiresonant reflecting optical waveguides is reported. The device’s geometry has been optimized to minimize the intensity imbalance between the two arms for highly unbalanced Mach–Zehnder configurations. This results in a very compact device with a total length of only
