“…The other simulation parameters used are given in the related figure captions. This Matlab program was used to simulate the parameters of a device which were selected to be as close to those of devices reported in the recent literature [31][32][33]. From Figure 1, it can be seen that the operation assumes the light from a monochromatic source is input into an MZI and split equally into two arms, following which the signals are combined at the output 50:50 coupler, for which the output intensity is determined, using Equation (1).…”
