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.

Question:
Can you explain what the relative power is? When I analyze the power with the Path Monitor, it is less than 1 at the input. How is this possible?
Answer:
The Relative Power is the total optical power in the transverse (x-y) plane and it is normalized to 1 at the Input Plane. This value decreases along z when light is scattered outside the window boundaries or absorbed in materials.
The Path Monitor uses different methods for calculating the power in the waveguide. The Power in Path method, calculates the power within the waveguide boundaries. In your case at the input plane the Path Monitor is actually giving you the confinement factor.
More description of the different methods is provided on page 266 of the OptiBPM User Reference.

Hi,
Is it possible that the relative power be larger than 1 when the light propagates along z direction? Please see the attached picture which shows the phenomena I mentioned before.
