Modulator testing involved complex biasing conditions, hardware connections and data analysis. Also, any optical signal distortion due to the grating coupler effect could potentially induce additional difficulty in setting the correct bias condition for an accurate measurement of the modulator performance. In this paper, we proposed to use SciPy, an open-source scientific computing library, for automation in the silicon modulator test with bias setting and data analysis.
