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.

Can anyone please tell me which type of optimization algorithm is used by OptiSystem software in the attached lesson? Is it some genetic algorithm? or a different optimization technique?
If anyone knows please tell me. I will be really grateful.
Dear Hafiz,
The lesson talks about how it is possible to design an optimal gain flattening filter in OptiSystem for optical amplifier. Users will enter the required final gain flatness (let us say 1dB gain flattening) across the required operating wavelength range. The software looks into the gain curve obtained at specific signal input power and design the gain flattening filter for that set gain flattening value. There is no genetic algorithm used in the GFF design feature.

Ahmad
Dear Sir, Thanks for your reply.
In that lesson, I don’t see that any gain flattening filter component is used?
They compared the results with reference [2], in which an automatic design scheme is discussed. Did the software used that Optimization technique?
I am sorry, I thought you are interested in gain flattening filters. For the example shown in the tutorial (RA Optimizing pump power and frequencies – Average model.osd) a Multi-parameter multi-target optimization process (MPO) is used. This is based on nonlinear least-squares implementation. Details on the optimization process is described on page 191 in the User Reference document. You may find this document in the attached documents with OptiSystem software.
regards,
Ahmad
Ok got it. One more question:
The optimization process based on nonlinear least square implementation as in the attached lesson is same as Optimization process based on genetic algorithm implementation? That is, achieving minimum gain ripple using nonlinear least square Optimization is same as achieving minimum gain ripple using genetic algorithm?
Your cooperation in this regard will be really helpful for me.

Obaid
