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.

Hi
I want to ask, I am now making a DWDM system design, on the transmitter side using Optical Gaussian Pulse Generator. I use 0 dBm power, and I vary the power -2 dBm and 2 dBm, and I get the result using power -2 getting Q-Factor results and Bit Error Rate better than power 2. is that correct?
Hi Amin,
for sure it is hard to have a concrete answer yes or no without details of your project as the answer should change from one design to another
But I can say, in general, it would be correct if you use optical fiber and nonlinear effects might arise at high power ranges.
hope that helps

Hi mohamed
nonlinearity on optical fiber I switch off.
I use 32 channels using optical gaussian pulse generator format, then on optical link using smf fiber then SOA smf and EDFA amplifier amplifiers, and when I vary powernya if using power -2dBm will get Q factor better than 2dBm power. and I read some papers showing if the greater the power will result in a better q factor value, but i am the opposite .. so i feel confused now hehe
Amin,
yes the greater received power that means high SNR, so better BER.
in your case many sources might be source of errors, such as nonlinearities (make sure you uncheck it from all amplifiers and components) and noise pins.
I advise you to start from simple system which has only SMF (No Nonlinearity no noise) then verify that higher power better BER.
then insert amplifiers step-by-step to catch the source of discrimination.
thanks
