ER_V1 |
Struct |
The extinction ratio (dB) of the MZM (as explained in the Spectrum Data Visualization in photonic model page) at the voltage given by ER_V1_voltage provided as a struct. The struct has the following fields: default_value: The nominal extinction ratio at ER_V1_voltage in dB. visible_to_user: Boolean flag to turn this FOM into a visible parameter for the CML user. min: If the FOM is used as a parameter then the minimum allowed value in dB. max: If the FOM is used as a parameter then the minimum allowed value in dB. Notes:

Number
|
Transmission (dB) from optical port 1 (1st input) to optical port 3 (1st output) at zero bias. Note: Used for balanced MZM only. |

Transmission (dB) from optical port 1 (1st input) to optical port 4 (2nd output) at zero bias. Note: Used for balanced MZM only. |
