SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the physical dimensions of the transduction coefficient in the context of tunable couplers within programmable integrated photonics, specifically referencing the work of Jose Capmany. The signals s1 and s2 represent electric field intensities, while the transduction coefficient, denoted as ##\gamma##, has a physical dimension that is the inverse of the signal amplitude dimension. This indicates that the signals are indeed related to the amplitudes of the electromagnetic waves, clarifying their role in the transduction process.
