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.

I am going to carry out a simulation of propagation loss in straight and bent waveguide. Can any one suggest what simulation tool is suitable. I have tried to use the OptiFDTD by placing observation lines over prolonged waveguide and obtain the power remained in the waveguide at that location. However, no accurate result was obtained until the waveguide was over 100 micrometers. Can anyone suggest proper method for the study as well. Thanks!
Thanks Damian!! Could you define more how is “the bends are not very sharp”. I would like to determine the bending with curvature radius down to 1 micrometer. The cases of bending includes 90 degrees, 180 degrees (i.e. like a u-turn) and 360 degrees (i.e. a closed ring). Will it be possible to use OptiBPM to simulate the bending losses of the abovementioned cases?
In this case I would say they are too sharp! Now what you could do is run the OptiBPM simulation for the straight section of the waveguide and then import the field into OptiFDTD and simulate the bend with the other method. Then you could bring the results back in to OptiBPM.
with s bend still I can see alot loss how to fix this? would you please let me know is there any optimization in this software or not and how to use optimization? thanks
The largest bend that you can perform depends also on the waveguide structure and material. Highly confined waveguides may actually cause more error when using the BPM numerical engine.
Please attach your project and I can make some suggestions.
