Optiwave software can be used in different industries and applications, including Fiber Optic Communication, Sensing, Pharma/Bio, Military & Satcom, Test & Measurement, Fundamental Research, Solar Panels, Components / Devices, etc..
OptiSystem is a comprehensive software design suite that enables users to plan, test, and simulate optical links in the transmission layer of modern optical networks.
OptiSPICE is the first circuit design software for analysis of integrated circuits including interactions of optical and electronic components. It allows for the design and simulation of opto-electronic circuits at the transistor level, from laser drivers to transimpedance amplifiers, optical interconnects and electronic equalizers.
OptiFDTD is a powerful, highly integrated, and user friendly CAD environment that enables the design and simulation of advanced passive and non-linear photonic components.
OptiBPM is a comprehensive CAD environment used for the design of complex optical waveguides. Perform guiding, coupling, switching, splitting, multiplexing, and demultiplexing of optical signals in photonic devices.
The optimal design of a given optical communication system depends directly on the choice of fiber parameters. OptiFiber uses numerical mode solvers and other models specialized to fibers for calculating dispersion, losses, birefringence, and PMD.
Emerging as a de facto standard over the last decade, OptiGrating has delivered powerful and user friendly design software for modeling integrated and fiber optic devices that incorporate optical gratings.
Modal analysis is a pivotal component of modelling optical structures. OptiMode serves as a robust CAD platform for the design and modal analysis of waveguide structures.

Can you, please, briefly explain me the reason of choosing whole switch device length of 33 mm with only 100 microns width. I’m talking about a wafer which was used in “Lesson 14: Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Switch”.
Those dimensions are chosen to make the simulation as efficient as possible. The length and width are chosen so as to be large enough to enclose the entire optical field, but small enough so that the simulation does not waste time on places that have no optical field. The Mach-Zehnder device is long and narrow, so the simulation zone is too.
Thanks, Steve! I have a follow-up question: according to this tutorial I should be able to check the refractive index profile of different slices through the device in x-y plane, for example. But after I’m putting z-distance in the required box I can’t locate the ‘View’ button. Can you, please, help me with that?
For some reason, I’m getting an error (see attached file) when I’m trying to run the scheme from lesson 14. In my opinion, the problem is that I don’t have the required selection “Select Simulation > Calculate 2D Isotropic Simulation” to calculate the scheme in 2D. The error comes up when I’m trying to simulate my scheme in 3D layout…
The sample you have was set up to run in 2D. The input plane takes specifications for 2D and 3D simulations separately. If you ask for a 3D simulation, but the input for a 3D simulation has not been specified in this project, you get this error.
ok, I see your point. I just haven’t seen the selection to run my simulation in 2D for some reason… I’ll check it again and let you know about the progress!
Steve, I considered your advice and specified my input in 2D plane. But even after that I have only option to “Calculate 3D Isotropic Simulation” in Simulation tab. Could, you please guide me how exactly should I run my simulation in this case?
I expect you are using the 64 bit version of OptiBPM 12. 2D BPM is found in the 32 bit version of OptiBPM 12. So for now, use the 32 bit version. OptiBPM 13 will have 2D BPM in 64 bits.
There is no reference for Lesson 14. It is not a simulation that reproduces results from a previously published work. That simulation was done by Optiwave.
