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.
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.

A fig attached below gives a cross section of PCF. The air-holes are arranged in a hexagonal lattice configuration while input field is given in core (center) of the structure. There are refractive indexes of core and cladding material separately defined. Such as if it is a solid core , then n=1.45 (Si) , the air cladding holes will have n=1.0. Now if we consider the refractive index of whole structure, it is said to be dependent on the input wave’s coverage in cladding area, known as Effective Refractive Index (Neff). Through this term dispersion is calculated for a fiber. I wanted to know the option of calculating this Neff in Optifdtd.
You can also find the effective index of refraction of the propagating mode using the OptiMODE application that comes along with OptiFDTD. After solving for the modes, the field profile and also the modal index or effective index is shown.
Hello,
What I’d do is to run the PWE bandsolver and then fit the curves I’m interested in, so I can relate ‘w’ with ‘k’. Then I’d derivate tihs expression (dw/dk = vg) and I’d obtain vg, which is the group velocity and it gives us the neff.
Sorry about this quick explanation. I hope it is helpfull, I’m in a hurry :).
