37. This solution assumes a large array of waveguides. The case of a small number of waveguides can be handled by using the method of A. Rai, G. S. Agarwal, and J. H. H. Perk, Phys. Rev. A 78, 042304 (2008). 10.1103/PhysRevA.78. 042304
38. Another possibility would be to examine the eigenstates of Eq. 16 in the space of single-photon excitation. Such eigenstates can be calculated explicitly. However we have a very large number of eigenstates and thus an expansion of time-dependent wave function in terms of such eigenstates does not turn out to be as useful as the discussion which leads to Eq. 28.
