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.

When we use the Optical Fiber/Bi-directional OF from the component library. Its Main Tab indicates that User defined reference wavelength is checked/selected and the Reference Wavelength is shown as 1550nm.
For what wavelengths this selection will work?
Lets say im using wavelength in the O-band (1280-1320nm), then using this Reference wavelength OK?
If not what value should I Choose?
Thanks
You can check the box and then define the center wavelength of your wavelength interval as the reference wavelength. You can also uncheck the box and let the software choose the center wavelength of your signal as the reference wavelength automatically. In SMF fiber the wavelength limit of the fiber was determined in “Numerical” tab, but here for bidirectional fiber, the limits exisit in “Graphs” tab only to draw graphs. I don’t know if they have anything to do with the fiber calculation limits.
Thanks Ali for your reply. Even if I specify a different wavelength the dispersion value in the dispersion tab is still the same.
Do we also need to change the dispersion value there?
Where can i view the Plot of “Graphs”?
When you change the reference wavelength, the parameters that have formerly been set for the former reference wavelength are applied to the new reference wavelength. It doesn’t mean that their value changes, it simply means that the value now belongs to the new reference wavelength.
If the same dispersion value is associated with the new reference wavelength then will it result in same dispersion penalty for the new wavelength also or there will be some difference?
I don’t know if other components in the optical system would have the same behavior in the new wavelength in terms of the dispersion, but the fiber is supposed to have the same behavior in the new reference wavelength. Otherwise, it somehow negates defining a “reference” wavelength for the fiber.
You’re welcome Shahid. You would be able to see the related graphs in the “project browser”. You can click on the project browser button above the page, choose it from the menu bar or simply press ctrl+2 to see project browser. There, you can choose bidirectional fiber and in the Graphs section, the graphs can be chosen.
