ssfm(Ei, param=None)

Split-step Fourier method (symmetric, single-pol.).

Parameters:

• Ei (np.array) – Input optical signal field.

• param (optic.utils.parameters object) –

  Physical/simulation parameters of the optical channel.

  • param.Ltotal : total fiber length [km][default: 400 km]

  • param.Lspan : span length [km][default: 80 km]

  • param.hz : step-size for the split-step Fourier method [km][default: 0.5 km]

  • param.alpha : fiber attenuation parameter [dB/km][default: 0.2 dB/km]

  • param.D : chromatic dispersion parameter [ps/nm/km][default: 16 ps/nm/km]

  • param.gamma : fiber nonlinear parameter [1/W/km][default: 1.3 1/W/km]

  • param.Fc : carrier frequency [Hz] [default: 193.1e12 Hz]

  • param.Fs : simulation sampling frequency [samples/second][default: None]

  • param.prec : numerical precision [default: np.complex128]

  • param.amp : ‘edfa’, ‘ideal’, or ‘None. [default:’edfa’]

  • param.NF : edfa noise figure [dB] [default: 4.5 dB]

  • param.seed : seed for the random number generator [default: None]

  • param.prgsBar : display progress bar? bolean variable [default:True]

  • param.returnParameters : bool, return channel parameters [default: False]

Returns:

• Ech (np.array) – Optical signal after nonlinear propagation.

• param (optic.utils.parameters object) – Object with physical/simulation parameters used in the split-step alg.
