Abstract:
A device may include a plurality of interferometers. The plurality of interferometers may include a parent interferometer, a first child interferometer coupled to a first branch of the parent interferometer, and a second child interferometer coupled to a second branch of the parent interferometer. At least one of the plurality of interferometers may be calibrated by maintaining collinearity of an output of the first branch and the second branch and using perturbation signals.

Claim (Index 7):
A combined interferometer, comprising:\n a parent interferometer, a first child interferometer, and a second child interferometer forming a combined interferometer structure; and one or more components to:\n apply, concurrently, a first perturbation signal to the first child interferometer and a second perturbation signal to the second child interferometer while maintaining collinearity of a first output of the first child interferometer and a second of the second child interferometer,\n wherein the first perturbation signal is orthogonal to the second perturbation signal; \n \n determine values for an error function based on a third output of the combined interferometer structure based on applying the first perturbation signal and the second perturbation signal; and \n selectively adjust a phase of the combined interferometer based on the values for the error function to calibrate the combined interferometer.
