How to model the 3 dB frequency response of a Mach-Zehnder modulator?

      Hello,

      I want to know how can I model the 3 dB E/O bandwidth of a Mach-Zehnder modulator. I see that the element from the element library (Mach-Zehnder modulator or Mach-Zehnder Modulator Measured) do not have a entry in the property view that allows me to edit the 3 dB E/O bandwidth. Is there a possible solution?

      Thanks,

      Hello Metodi,

      My apologies for delay in response.

      To calculate the modulator S21 bandwidth, you can use the same method we introduced in this exmple here: Ring modulator time domain (INTERCONNECT) – Ansys Optics

      Thanks and regards
