      The parameter window of the ‘Mach-Zehnder modulator analytical’ has ‘Symmetry Factor’ which can vary from -1 to +1, given in the ‘Main’ window of MZM parameters. What does it indicate in the MZM modulator? Is it the input field splitting ratio in the two arms of this element? The image is attached for reference.

      Dear Aritra,
      the Symmetry factor affects the modulated signal level at the output of the modulator as described in the theory of the MZM component (attached). It is not direct splitting ratio parameter.
