The optical data signals and the noise vectors are defined in a list, which can contain more than one signal. If an optical signal E is defined as done in the basic setup above, the optical signal itself is represented by two numpay arrays which contains the complex
sample values of the X- and the Y-polarisation plane. E[0]['E'][0] is the X-polarisation and E[0]['E'][1] is the Y-polarisation:
>>> E[0]['E']

Noise is represented as a noise vector in the frequency domain. The number of noise bins is $SPS * NOS$. The bins have a frequency resolution of $f_S / SPS$ and the unit is $W/Hz$.
