Abstract
Geometric phase modulation is exerted in each arm of nulling interferometer. Experimental results reveal the feasibility of separate phase modulation of an arbitrary amount of radians (less than 2π) in nulling interferometer. The capability of the separate phase modulation will be useful for multi-element nulling interferometer to detect extrasolar planets.
