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.

Does anybody know if any of last versions of OptiSystem have Smart Power Meters (energy meters used customers for energy consumption managing) in their library? Or did anyone try to model them?
We do not have a direct example of this. Do you have a reference or paper that demonstrates a working system? I might be able to convert it into a working project file.
There are multiple different tools you can use in OptiBPM to measure the signal. In the Simulation->Additional Output Data window you can tell OptiBPM to calculate different quantities and plot them. For instance Relative Power vs Distance.
Hi Damian, these Smart Meters are working based on IEEE 1701 Standard “Optical Port Communication Protocol to Complement the Utility Industry End Device Data Tables”.
The closest component we have is the obvious Optical Power Meter. I tried to get that paper but I guess my IEEE account does not give me access. Is there a difference between the Optical Power Meter we have and the Smart Meters?
The main difference at physical and channel level is that Smart Meters are used for continuous monitoring of power/energy consumption. Hence, they act like user of channel bandwidth capacity.
I think this application is out of the scope of OptiSystem. Number one reason being the smart meters measure power usage over long periods of time ~hours, while the simulations in OptiSystem can last for ms at most.
Thanks for your guidance, Damian!
Here is my following question: Is there any chance to “compress the process”, i.e., run this hourly procedure during seconds in the software? At least for shortest amount of time and then repeat simulation. Just curious…
