Abstract
This paper presents the capability of single mode instruments for interferometry, mainly for the beam combination. Guided optics is identified as a unique way to provide the required single mode behavior for the most demanding applications in terms of measurement accuracy. We give a brief description of existing technologies, and present typical developments in progress on this subject, which benefits from the properties of guided optics.
