I'd like to write this sentence:
In both excitation and emission beam path a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is introduced, both of which exhibiting equal delays.
I don't like the style of the sentence, because I use two times 'both'. I am not even sure it is grammatically correct, as the subordinate clause refers to two interferometers, although I put the 'interferometer' in singular. I was playing around with some other structures, but I wasn't satisfied. Does anybody have any suggestions how to transform the sentence to proper English?
Thanks a lot!

Do you mean that there are two interferometers, one in the exitation beam path and one in the emission beam path? If so part of your problem is that you have not made that indisputably clear at the outset.

@BoldBen Yes, I see that. You think this would work: "In each excitation and emission beam path one Mach-Zehnder interferometer is introduced, both of which exhibiting equal delays." It sounds a bit odd to me, but this it was offered by my dictionary as the translation to a possible unambiguous expression in German
