Microfiber Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MMZI) is demonstrated by micromanipulating an optical microfiber drawn from a single mode fiber (SMF) using a flame brushing technique. The MMZI shows good interference fringes with an extinction ratio of 13 dB and a free spectral range (FSR) of 0.52 nm at 153...
