This document provides instructions for simulating amplitude modulation using OptiSystem software. It involves:
1) Setting up a simulation with a 2000 MHz and 1000 MHz sine wave modulating a 30 THz CW laser through an amplitude modulator. Results are analyzed on oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers.
2) Modifying the simulation to include a fiber with its wavelength set to 1300 nm after the modulator. The 1000 MHz sine wave is removed.
3) Varying the fiber length and checking if the 2000 MHz modulating signal is still observed at the photodetector output.

1) Place and connect two sine generators, CW laser, Combiner 2*1, photodiode and Amplitude modulator as shown in figure below.
Connect Oscilloscope visualizer and RF Spectrum Analyzer to Electrical output ports Sine generator 1, Combiner and photodetector.
Connect Optical Time Domain visualizer and Optical Spectrum Analyzer to Optical output ports CW Laser and Amplitude Modulator.
Frequency of first sine generator: 2000 MHz Frequency of second sine generator: 1000 MHz Frequency of CW Laser: 30 THz Power of CW Laser: 8.6 dBm
Amplitude Modulator can be found in the Default/Transmitters Library/Modulators/Optical/ folder.
2) Double click anywhere in the main layout and set the Parameters as shown in the figure below:
Bit Rate: 2.5e+009 Sequence Length: 1024 Bits Samples per bit: 32
Run the simulation.

X-axis limit = 0 to 4 ns
X-axis limit = 0 GHz to 5 GHz 3) Add a optical fiber to the above setup. Remove the Combiner and 1 GHz sine wave from the system.
Change the frequency of the CW Laser to 1300 nm.
Set the reference wavelength of the optical fiber to 1300 nm.
Vary the length of the optical fiber and check if you are getting back the 2 GHz sine wave in the Oscilloscope Visualizer and RF Spectrum Analyzer connected at the photodetector.
