(a) The photon source (IF, HWP, PBS, PC, PDC, DL and SMF). (b) Photon injection (extraction) before (after) the evolution through the interferometer. DL, delay lines with motorized stages; FA, fibre array; HWP, half-wave plate; IF, interferential filter; PBS, polarizing beam splitter; PC, polarization compensator; PDC, parametric downconversion; SMF, single-mode fibre.
