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.

Hello Adnan,
Can you please explain how did you measure the insertion loss of each MZM?
You need to understand that the optical signal is going to be distributed over the 16 QAM signals. The electrical field of each signal of 16QAM has different amplitude and phase. If you add the optical power of all signals, you must reach the original optical signal power if there is no insertion loss set for any optical component used to create the 16QAM optical signal.

Ahmad
Thank you Mr Ahmed
I fed the MZM by 0 dB that founded in 16 QAM Transmitter in one of Optisystem example. But I set the Insertion loss parameter to 0 dB after that I measure the output signal -6.6 dBm, So I find in Binary system the output is -3 dBm because MZM in the on / off situations. I know the distribution of power in 16 QAM but I need to mathematical explanations if anyone can do?
Thank you for all
Dear Adnan,
you need to take into account the driving voltage for the MZM (bias and gain), the M-pulse generator amplitude and 3-dB coupler (3-dB loss). All of these parameters affect the overall QAM signal power. I am attaching an example showing the effect of gain on the results.
If you need further discussion, please contact me at ahmad.atieh@optiwave.com
