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.
OptiFiber 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.

I need to plot BER as a function of received power to find power penalty. Is there any range for power that is to be plotted in order to find power penalty?
I suggest that you use sweep mode for a wide range of power change (say 30dB). Then you can choose a smaller range which gives results of more interest. It really depends on your system.
The power penalty depends on many factors (bitrate, modulation type…) so it depends on your system. If for example you have a simple tx -> fiber -> receiver system, you can simply add a VOA in front of the receiver and the change its attenuation from 0dB to xx dB to see how BER changes.
Why in some cases BER is plotted against received power while log of BER is plotted against received power in other cases? Is there any relation between the two plots ?
Almost all cases I can remember now have used the log of BER, even though it might also be shown otherwise as you have mentioned. Using log of BER, the changes in a rather small interval (say from zero to one, the BER range) as well as changes in a wide range can be shown better and more clearly.
