User-defined seed index for noise generation

Technical background
In the CW case, the average output Power is a parameter that you specify. The laser
phase noise is modeled using the probability density function:

where is the phase difference between two successive time instants and dt is
the time discretization. A Gaussian random variable for the phase difference
between two successive time instants with zero mean and a variance equal to

has been assumed, with as the laser line-width (which is


equivalent to the full width half maximum (FWHM) of the laser power spectrum)

The output is multiplied with a complex vector considering the state of polarization:

where the power splitting k and the phase difference θ are related to the parameters

Azimuth and Ellipticity as follows:
