Abstract
We study the interference of two tunable Rashba regions in a quantum wire with one propagating mode. The transmission dips (Fano-Rashba dips) of the two regions either cross or anti cross depending on the distance between the two regions. For large separations we find Fabry-Pérot oscillations due to the interference of forwards and backwards propagating modes. At small separations overlapping evanescent modes play a prominent role, leading to an enhanced transmission and destroying the conductance dip. Analytical expressions in scattering-matrix theory are given and the relevance of the interference effect in a device is discussed.
