mzm(Ai, u, param=None)

Optical Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM).

Parameters:

• Ai (scalar or np.array) – Amplitude of the optical field at the input of the MZM.

• u (np.array) – Electrical driving signal.

• param (optic.utils.parameters object, optional) –

  Parameters of the MZM model.

  • param.Vpi: MZM’s Vpi voltage [V][default: 2 V]

  • param.Vb: MZM’s bias voltage [V][default: -1 V]

Returns:

Ao – Modulated optical field at the output of the MZM.

Return type:

np.array
