\section{Theory}  \subsection{Mach-Zehnder Interferometer basic operation}  \subsection{Optical filter using two Mach-Zehnder interferometers}  %From Agarwal pp. 293  By putting multiple interferometers in cascade arrangement, a filter can be obtained. If we have M MZI devices connected in a chain as seen in Fig.[], then the transfer function of the overall filter can be extracted following the sum of $2^M$ paths. An expression for the transfer function in frequency domain is:  \begin{center}  $\left|H\left(\omega\right)\right|^{2}=\overset{M}{\underset{m=1}{\prod}}\cos^{2}\left(\frac{\omega\tau_{m}}{2}\right)$  \end{center}
