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.

Hi everybody! basic question: model test structure – very wide waveguide with high delta n. Standard cladding n_clad=1.48. OptiMode_Solver finds modes for the core index up to n_core=1.7. However, somehow it does not find mode for n_core=1.8 or higher (same structure). What do I miss?
Thanks!
John
Hi John,
Can you attach the OptiMode file you are using? From a guess I would say you might need to increase the mesh resolution if the field is strongly confined to the core.
Regards
Hi Damian,
File is attached. I did try to increase mesh resolution – no help at all… It finds modes in 2D but not in 3D. everything is OK if n<=1.7
Best!
John
Hi Damian,
Any insights?
John
Hey John,
I can’t say exactly why your file was not working, it gave me a memory warning when I tried to run it! I rebuilt it in both OptiMode and OptiBPM and it works fine. Attached is the BPM file, if you don’t have the same version I would say just try rebuilding the file from scratch. I only needed a mesh of 200×200 to find modes in the n = 1.8 case.
Regards
Hi John,
As I can understand, you are using OptiBPM. Did you model your experiment somewhere else?
Hi Ravil,
I am working on a more complex model for FDTD for propagation studies in high contrast waveguides.
John
Hi John,
Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of experience with FDTD, but I’ve got the same results as Damian
I think I have the same problem, I was suspicious about my computer because windows 8.1 some of the times this error will happened
I haven’t alot of experience with FDTD , i think if you attach the project it may be better
