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 have a doubt regarding the placement of the electrodes, whether it is done in an unsymmetrical way or symmetrical manner (by symmetrical, I mean the placements of the electrodes is equidistant from the arms of the EO-MZI). The MZI which I simulated in the OptiBPM software by following this link: https://optiwave.com/optibpm-manuals/bpm-lesson-14-mach-zehnder-interferometer-switch-2/,the placement of the electrodes is done in an unsymmetrical manner and also in the screenshot enclosed. But, whereas in the research paper that I have enclosed in which in the implementation of NOR gate section, they have placed electrodes in a symmetrical manner. So, now my first question is: How should the electrodes be placed? In a symmetrical or unsymmetrical manner? and my second question is: If these electrodes are placed symmetrically(as they are equidistant from the arms of the MZI) ( as seen in the Research paper enclosed), then how does the phase change between two optical signals occurs to get constructive and destructive interference?
Please let me know about it at the earliest.
The waveguides and electrodes are in a symmetrical pattern,and there is no apparent difference in the optical wave on the upper waveguide compared to the lower one. However, the EO effect is not necessarily the same. There are 3 electrodes, top, middle and bottom. If the top and bottom electrodes are grounded and potential is applied to the middle one, the EO effect on the upper waveguide is the opposite of the EO effect lower waveguide. The effect, both + and -, gets stronger with increasing potential, leading to constructive or destrtuctive interference in the second coupler.
