Fig. 6: Power ratio curve and associated optical path.
From: Comprehensive model of MZI-based circuits for photonic computing applications
Example of measured Pout/Pin curve (input port 1, output port 2) and the associated optical path in the circuit. Both simulated and measured curves have been normalized to account for additional sources of loss that are not present in our model (e.g., measurement setup losses) and to simplify subsequent analysis. The left y axis represents the measured power ratio values (in decibel); the right y axis represents the same quantity scaled with Eq. (9).
