Hello, I was interested in building a Mach-Zender interferometer at home, and I was wondering if that is possible within reason and if anyone on here would happen to have some useful advice on how to accomplish this.
What kind of (affordable) components would be recommended to use?
How can the kind of precision needed in the positioning of the components be best achieved and maintained?
What steps need to be taken to ensure that a minimal amount of light follows the path that shouldn't be taken? (vacuum? dustfree? close positioning of components?)
