Source Code: optical_tx_pam.m
This source code simulates optical signal field by modulating the laser light of PAM-M (M = 2, 4, 8, 16, ..) data through MZ nonlinear modulators. This also generates unequal voltage amplitude levels for MZ nonlinear modulator so that the power levels signals in optical domain are equidistant. This gives the same eye heights in the eye diagram of PAM-M.
This source code calls the following functions:
(1) Pam_modulation.m: The laser light is modulated by PAM-M data. The number of symbols M can be specified by the user.
(2) time_diagram.m: Plots the time diagram.
(3) eye_diagram_pow: Plots the eye diagram. The Y-axis is optical power.
(4) power_meter.m: Calculates the average power in dBm.
(5) gauss.m: A Gaussian bandpass filter is introduced. The half-bandwidth (‘bw’) should be specified.

12.1 Roll-off factor ‘a’ determines how steep the pulse edge is. It takes values between 0 and 1 (a = 0 -> rectangular pulse). Modify the code by changing the roll-off factor from 0 to 0.9 and plot the time diagram, eye diagram and spectrum for M=4.
12.2 Change M from 4 to 16 with a step of 4 and plot the time diagram, eye diagram and spectrum. Choose a suitable roll-off factor , say ‘a’ = 0.6.
12.3 Change the duty cycle from 1 to 0.5 (corresponding to RZ 50% duty cycle) and repeat 12.1 and 12.2.
12.4 Change the bandwidth of the bandlimiting filter from 0.5*symbol rate to 4*symbol rate. Observe the change in the amount of noise in the eye diagram after the bandlimiting filter.
