Abstract
A method for providing a fiber interferometer, starting from components, wherein at least one component has a light-guiding fiber with a free end. The method includes manufacturing the fiber interferometer with a preparing of the components based on mechanical cutting of the fiber with the free end, a connecting of the components through fiber connections based on the cut fiber, and with an applying of a static mechanical tension to at least one fiber connection, so as to approximate a length of the at least one fiber connection to a prescribed value and thus provide the fiber interferometer.

Method for the provision of a fiber interferometer, using components, wherein at least one component includes a light-guiding fiber with a free end, the method comprises manufacturing the fiber interferometer, with the following steps:
- preparing, based on a mechanical cutting of the fiber with the free end, the components;
- connecting, based on the cut fiber, the components through fiber connections;
- and
- applying a static mechanical tension to at least one fiber connection, so as to approximate a length of the at least one fiber connection to a prescribed value and thus manufacture the fiber interferometer.
A fiber interferometer manufactured from components that are connected by fiber connections the fiber interferometer comprises:
- a fiber tensioning device with a winding body around which at least one fiber connection is wound, and with an adjustment device configured to change a diameter of the winding body and thus apply mechanical tension to the at least one fiber connection;
- and
- a tempering device configured to perform tempering of the fiber connections by changing a temperature, so as to adjust the interferometer.
