Abstract :
Simulated performance characteristics of reciprocal photonic networks comprised of 2×2 couplers, gratings, partially reflecting mirrors, waveguides and facet discontinuities are reported. The simulations are based on generalized scattering matrix analysis using the concept of a universal coupler
