Abstract
Delay line interferometer designs using combinations of basic optical components that are expected to simplify manufacture and reduce costs while still providing precision optical performance. The main operative components of these designs are polarization beam splitters, birefringent crystals, optical delay components, and waveplates. Temperature controllers may be provided for adjusting the delay of the optical delay components.
