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.
OptiConverge is a collaborative integration framework that seamlessly combines two or more Optiwave products (e.g., OptiSystem, OptiSPICE, OptiFDTD, etc.) and other third party products into unified solutions. Designed to streamline complex workflows, it empowers users to achieve their goals faster by harnessing the collective power of our trusted Optiwave tools.

Meshless Mode Solversfor LP and Vector Modes: Optical fibers may consist of an arbitrary number of concentric layers of lossless materials, and graded index fibers can be approximated using a sequence of constant index layers. OptiFiber 2.0 mode solvers find an exact solution based on matching boundary conditions at layer boundaries instead of relying on meshes to approximate the structure.
These advanced mode solvers should be especially useful for multimode fiber calculations, where there are many modes in the spectrum.
Another advantage of the meshless mode solver is the calculation of fields far from the fiber. Meshing introduces finite difference errors of a certain level, and fields weaker than the differencing error cannot be calculated. The meshless mode solvers, on the other hand, have the correct asymptotic behavior far from the fiber, and can calculate fields of magnitude 10-15 or less.
This feature is in addition to the existing mode solvers in OptiFiber.
Propagation over Distance: OptiFiber allows users to decompose an arbitrary field into the modes of a multimode fiber. It calculates the complex coefficients of the modes for the arbitrary field. Similarly, given the amplitude of a set of modes, OptiFiber can display the sum (composition of modes).
OptiFiber 2.0 can also calculate this multimode field after propagating down the fiber by a specified distance. The user enters a distance. Each of the complex coefficients of the modes is multiplied by the appropriate phase factor, and the new field pattern is displayed in the preview box.
