Optiwave Systems Inc. software

OptiSPICE allows for the design and simulation of optoelectronic circuits at the transistor level, from laser drivers to transimpedance amplifiers, optical interconnects, and electronic equalizers.Given the imminent coexistence of electrical and optical components at the chip and board level, it is essential to provide designers with a reliable simulation framework that can accurately and efficiently predict signal behavior in optoelectronic integrated circuits and boards.OptiSPICE produces self-consistent solutions of optoelectronic circuits that contain feedback spanning both optical and electrical parts. Moreover, it is a fully-integrated solution for parameter extraction, schematic capture, circuit simulation, and waveform analysis.

OptiFDTD enables you to design, analyze and test modern passive and nonlinear photonic components for wave propagation, scattering, reflection, diffraction, polarization and nonlinear phenomena.The core program of OptiFDTD is based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm with second-order numerical accuracy and the most advanced boundary condition – uniaxial perfectly matched layer (UPML) boundary condition. The algorithm solves both electric and magnetic fields in temporal and spatial domains using the full-vector differential form of Maxwell’s coupled curl equations. This allows for arbitrary model geometries and places no restriction on the material properties of the devices. OptiFDTD dramatically improves productivity of design engineers by reducing time-to-market.

OptiBPM is a computer-aided design software tool enabling design of complex optical waveguides, which perform guiding, coupling, switching, splitting, multiplexing, and demultiplexing of optical signals in photonic devices. OptiBPM is based on the Beam Propagation Method (BPM) of simulating the passage of light through any waveguide medium, both isotropic and anisotropic. With OptiBPM you can observe the near field distribution and examine the radiation and guided field, simultaneously.OptiBPM can improve a design engineer’s productivity, reduce risk, and lower overall costs related to design of waveguide devices.

The optimal design of a given optical communication system depends directly on the choice of 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.
