  3. 3.

    A simple discussion of the characterization methods of integrated waveguides can be found in Pelli S, Righini GC (1994) In: Martellucci S, Chester AN, Bertolotti M (eds) Advances in integrated optics. Plenum Press, New York, p 1

    It may help to remember that the elements of M−1 are connected to the ones of M by M11’ = M22/Δ, M21’ = − M21/Δ, M12’ = − M12/Δ, M22’ = M11/Δ where Δ is the determinant of the matrix M
