Abstract
Within the context of weak coupling theory, we derive representations of the coupling coefficients between neighboring waveguides by representing the field-dependent interaction integrals by algebraic expressions involving scattering data and we illustrate the contexts in which scattering theory can make a viable alternative to existing formulation of the waveguide coupling problem
