Assume that in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (Figure 8-5), the beam splitter and mirror M3 each transmit 80% and reflect 20% of the incident light. Compare the visibility (Eq. (7-17)) when observing the interference of the two emerging beams (shown) with the visibility that results from the two beams emerging from M3 along a direction at 90° relative to the first (not shown). For the second case, beam (1) is reflected and beam (2) is transmitted at M3.
