opticomlib 2.0.3

Python package for optical communication systems.

Features

• Electro-optic devices: most common electro-optic devices are implemented in the package (opticomlib.devices):

  • PRBS: Pseudo Random Binary Sequence Generator
  • DAC: Digital to Analog Converter
  • ADC: Analog to Digital Converter
  • LASER: Continuous Wave Laser
  • PM: Phase Modulator
  • MZM: Mach-Zehnder Modulator (intensity modulator)
  • FIBER: Optical Fiber (with GPU acceleration support by default)
  • DBP: Back-Propagation algoritm
  • DM: Pure Dispersive Medium
  • PD: Photodetector
  • EDFA: Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier
  • SAMPLER: electrical sampler
  • LPF: Low Pass Filter
  • BPF: Band Pass Filter
  • GET_EYE: Eye Diagram parameters estimator
  • FBG: Fiber Bragg Grating
  • ... and more in the future

• Modulation formats: modulations are implemented in separate modules, with their own functionalities:

  • OOK: On-Off Keying (opticomlib.ook)
  • PPM: Pulse Position Modulation (opticomlib.ppm)
  • ... and more in the future

• Objects types: methods for signal processing and visualization are integrated in the following objects:

  • binary_sequence: object for binary sequences (NumPy compatible)
  • electrical_signal: object for electrical signals (NumPy compatible)
  • optical_signal: object for optical signals
  • eye: object for eye diagrams

• Laboratory utilities: framework for communication with laboratory equipment and post-processing of data (opticomlib.lab).

Installation

You can install opticomlib using pip:

pip install opticomlib

or from source code:

pip install git+https://github.com/armando-palacio/opticomlib.git

What's New in v2.0.0

• NumPy Compatibility: binary_sequence and electrical_signal now fully support NumPy protocols, allowing direct use with NumPy functions.
• GPU Acceleration: FIBER simulation now supports GPU acceleration using CuPy.
• New Lab Module: Drivers for laboratory equipment (PED, Lasers, Oscilloscopes) in opticomlib.lab.
• Enhanced Logging: Hierarchical logging system for better debugging.
• New Utilities: Added eyediagram, phase_estimator, get_psd, and more.
• Breaking Changes: See the full changelog for details on API changes (e.g., property access for .size, .type, NULL sentinel for noise).
