A planar lightwave circuit interferometer is constructed of waveguides printed on a circuit board. PLC interferometers can take on any form, which is rigidly printable, e.g. Mach-Zehnder, Michelson, etc. PLC interferometers are useful in multiplexing/demultiplexing in the communications technology.
