12. One can also envisage devices where the transmission vanishes in the absence of a SAW.

14. For odd NP, the lowest harmonic in the intensity modulation is given by 2 NP fSAW, while only phase modulation will occur at odd multiples of NP fSAW.
15. It can be easily seen by comparing the respective gray scale plots in Figs. that the transmission for the S devices is the product of the transmission of several a-MZIs modulated at different SAW phases.
