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 design a 16 channel 10Gbps wdm system.in that design when I plot a curve between span-length and q-factor I got maximum q-factor 3.3
which far less than acceptable level. normally a system has a q-factor of 6-9 .can anyone help me to increase q factor?
I have also used DCF about two weeks ago in order to improve this system performance, but it did not have any remarkable change (it is good other people like you would also give it a try though). I have also reduced the lasers linewidth to smaller yet common values, it did not even make any significant change.
DCF or Dispersion Compensating Fiber is also a part of an optical fiber, but the function is to compensate for the dispersion. The dispersion is an accumulative parameter, so if the dispersion is 16 per kilometer, for example, and the fiber is 5km long, using a DCF of 1 km with a dispersion of -80 per kilometer would compensate the dispersion:
You can easily change the settings of a SMF with regard to the main SMF fiber in your system (the one you want to compensate the dispersion of) the way I have told you above. Please, take a look at the file attached by Hoat. Click on the fibers and see the dispersion parameters on the “dispersion” tab for both fibers and compare the values to realize how to use a fiber as a DCF. In case you have more questions, you are welcome to ask.
