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..
OptiOmega is a collection of products specialized for photonic integrated circuit simulation. It automates the design flow for
generating compact models from device level simulations. The software package includes two solvers that can be used via
Python scripting: Vector Finite Difference (VFD) Mode Solver and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Electromagnetic Solvers.

Dear all,
In EDFA, when I increase Noise Figure, does it make the better performance or not?
Regard,
Hi lim,
Increasing noise figure for all optical amplifiers (EDFA, Raman, or even the black box optical amplifer component in OptiSystem amplifiers libray) means increasing noise, since noise figure is defined as the ratio of SNR at the input to SNR at the output of the amplifier (or any other component).
Regards
Hi Lim, as mentioned by Alitsu, an increase in Noise Figure is an increase of the noise generated by the amplifier, so the performances are worse.
Best Regards,
Alessandro
Thanks,
You are welcome Lin!
