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 simulated for both DCF and Fiber brag grating to compare both techniques and DCF quality factor has come to be 45.5 and fiber brag grating Q.F is 51 so just wanted to ask can my Q.F be that much maximum ? what is its range and what it is actually telling ?
The more the Q-factor, the better the system performance in terms of bit error rate. In practical systems, maximum acceptable BER is 10e-9 to 10e-12 in many cases, which correspond to Q-factor of 6 to 9. If you have achieved such high values for Q-factor, you can increase you system distance or bit rate to the point where Q-factor reaches a value near the aforementioned values.
I have attached your file with some changes made in the reach and bit rate. The link has become 66km with the bit rate being 50Gbps, so that the Q-factor is a number between 6 and 7, as you desired. I haven’t changes values of any other parameters from any other components. Please see if it helps.
Thanks for your response and yes q factor is 6 to 7 now but why there is lot of distortion ? i have used dcf here so it should be clear. As you can see in the file which i have attached above where although Q Factor is high but there is less distortion.
You’re welcome. Your system had a much higher Q-factor than the one I have attached in which the bit rate has increased and the length of the fibers has been extended, so it should be expected that the performance is not as good. However, Q-factor between 6 and 9 is acceptable for most of the communication systems, and you can increase it again by decreasing the reach and/or bit rate.
