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.
OptiInstrument addresses the needs of researchers, scientists, photonic engineers, professors and students who are working with instruments.
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.

I am trying to directly modulate a LASER using a 10 Gbps digital signal.
The LASER component is of type ‘Directly Modulated LASER measured’ type.
In the LASER’s properties I have set rise time as 0.35 ns. This means that the LASER can be modulated upto 1 Gbps.
Beyond 1 Gbps, the output should get distorted.
But, when I simulated using OptiSystem the LASER could be pass almost all frequencies without any sort of distortion.
Does rise time parameter have any effect at all on the modulation speed?

Hi.
Can you specify what are you exactly designing.
I am not getting how setting time affects the data rate. Please explain a bit.
Thank you
Hi Karan,
The Laser’s rise time is the time required for laser output from 10% to 90% of total power.
Rise time is a factor that decides the 3db Bandwidth of the Laser. ( risetime = 0.35/BW )
So, for rise time = 35 ps. The BW = 1 Gbps.
In the layout attached, I directly modulated the Laser above 1Gbps and the output of laser showed absolutely no distortion.
I tried this with the analog signals also, but the result is the same.
There does seem to be a problem with the Laser when operated in Analog configuration mode. I recommend switching it to Digital configuration in the main tab. It should function properly now. The difference being in digital configuration the input is normalized to a range of amplitude from 0 to 1.
