New OptiSystem Lab Assignments – 2015

Compatibility:

New professionally written lab assignments are now freely available to OptiSystem users.  Professors will need to personally request the “answers” password by emailing info@optiwave.com with their full signature (name, position, university, address).

LESSON 1 – LASER Transmitters

Investigate the L-I curves and spectrum of a FP Laser and observe the effects of different cavity characteristics. Learn to perform parameter sweeps in OptiSystem.
