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.

Hey everyone I need a bit of assistance. I’m not able to figure out the 2D FDTD Band Solver Parameter under the simulation option of the software. I’m in very need of that, even though it has been mentioned in the user manual of the documentation file.
You managed to create the crystal structure I imagine but you are not sure how to use the band solver? Is there a specific problem you are experiencing?
Yes I am able to use the PWE Band solver but as I am using non-linear rods so I think I should use FDTD band solver to get hold of the band diagram. I have Version 8,10,12 with me but I am not able to figure out that option under the simulation tab. Even I have installed the software package from Optiwave too but even its missing over there also.
Ah, the 2D FDTD band solver was removed from the software, because it did not provide any extra functionality. If you think that the PWE band solver will not accurately find the bandgaps of your nonlinear crystal then I would suggest performing a straight FDTD transmission simulation.
And of course there is a tutorial for the procedure:
Well I have got one new software package having the version 8 where the FDTD band solver parameter is active but I encountered one problem that is it takes only one vale of ‘K’ i.e wave vector. Can you please provide me the Opti FDTD version 12. I have got one but its a trial version for 30days. And thanks for providing me the information alongwith the references.
Yes I have got the 32 bit version. I have one more query, how to set the kerr non-linearity directly if the value is n2=1.5×10^(-5)? I have got the non-linearity option under profiles and materials but I didn’t get the option where I can set the value directly.
Under the FDTD-Nonlinear folder right click and create a new Material. From there you can choose whether it is a 2nd, 3rd, Kerr … type material. Since you only have the nonlinear index that means to me that you would be making a 3rd order material. You then just need to convert the index to a susceptibility. You can find the calculation on the web.
