Optical Spectrum Analyzer
Optical signals are visualized in frequency domain by using an OSA.
• Double click in the Optical Spectrum Analyzer
Since OptiSys_Design use a mixed signal representation the user can visualize the signal
according to the their representation. Each left tabs refers to one of the representations: Sampled
signal, Parameterized signals and Noise bins, or display all of them in the same graph.
The optical signal polarization can be accessed using the bottom tabs: Total power, Power from
polarization X and Power from polarization Y.

Optical Time Domain Visualizer

Optical signals are visualized in time domain by using an optical time domain visualizer.
• Double click in the Optical Spectrum Analyzer
In time domain OptiSys_Design will translate the optical signal and the power spectral density of
the noise to numerical noise in time domain.
The optical signal polarization can be accessed using the bottom tabs: Total power, Power from
polarization X and Power from polarization Y. When selecting polarization X or Y the user can
also select to display the phase or chirp of the signal in that particular polarization.
