What does it mean to say that there are "coupling effects" between some elements of an optical system? I've searched through the literature, but I cannot find a general explanation of what this means – every mention of it assumes that the reader already knows what it means.

Based on this paper, as well as other sources I've come across in my research, it seems to just be a technical way of saying that the elements, or the action of the elements, "depend" on each other (have "dependancy" on the state of each other in some way).
