We propose an ultra-simple dual-channel configuration for simultaneously evaluating two branches of a multifunctional integrated optic chip (MFIOC). In the configuration, MFIOC is employed as beam splitter to construct demodulation interferometer together with 2×2 fiber coupler. Interference happens between polarization modes traveling through different channels MFIOC. The cross-couplings each channel are respectively characterized by interference peaks which distribute on opposite sides...
