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.

I have two waveguides, one single TE mode waveguide and another multimode waveguide that supports 3 TE modes. Waveguides are placed close to each other and I want study power coupling for the fundamental mode excitation of the single mode waveguide. So, when fundamental mode of single mode waveguide is excited, how do I calculate how much power is coupled to TE0, TE1, and TE2 of multimode waveguide?
If I remember correctly you are using OptiFDTD 14.0 which means you have access to the S-Parameters feature within the product. What you would do in this case is set one S-Param port across the single mode waveguide and set it as the input with that fundamental mode. Next you would set a second S-Param port across the multimode waveguide and configure it to the TE0 mode and run the S-Parameter script. This would give you S12 which would be the coupling coefficient. You would then repeat this process changing the mode of the second port to the TE1 and then the TE2 modes. Further documentation can be found in the technical background document that is included in the help menu in your product.
You are correct that the S-parameter port works only for 3D simulations. In order to do this for a 2D simulation you would need to do this manually. You would set observation lines across the single mode waveguide on the input side and across the multimode waveguide on the output side. You would also set input planes at these same locations.
You would use the input planes (configured for 2D modal)and the built in mode solver to calculate the modes. You would then use these modes with the fields along the observation lines and mode expansion to extract the components in the field for each of the modes. The equations for this are in the OptiFDTD documentation for the S-Parameters.
