We observed that the highest transmission (T = 67%), the highest extinction ratio (XR = 3.57 dB) and the lowest crosstalk (Xtalk = -5.25 dB) occurred in the third scenario (P-0 = 110kW > Pc) considering the decreasing profile for beta = 1.35. Such condition enables applications such as TDMA and logic circuits.
