The optimal design of a given optical communication system depends directly on the choice of optical fiber parameters. Dimensions of the fiber cross-section, material composition, and refractive index profile all influence important linear and non-linear phenomena. OptiFiber uses numerical mode solvers and other models specialized to fibers for calculating dispersion, losses, birefringence, and PMD.
OptiFiber’s ability to help manufacturers optimize a particular design depending on their goals opens the door for numerous applications, from performing a simple single-mode fiber simulation to supplementing real lab devices like an NR-9200 Optical Fiber Analyzer. OptiFiber melds an intuitive user interface with an incredible set of capabilities to build a smooth experience for engineers, scientists, and students alike.
You can get a bird’s eye look at everything OptiFiber can do from our overview video below or master OptiFiber with the provided tutorials. Our materials cover everything from optical fiber parameters to rudimentary toolbar commands. Learn how to define a fiber profile to run a simulation for an annular ring profile and how to optimize it for zero dispersion at 1550 nm with our powerful OptiFiber.
