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.

Hi Bhagyalaxmi,
There are different optical amplifiers, Omni-directional and bidirectional. based on the V number (as function of core radius, the operating wavelength, refractive indexes) you can specify the number of modes to be excited inside the optical fiber.
One example is the “Er Doped Fiber” bidirectional component.
Hi Alaa,
Sweep iteration is used to make the user able to run the program many times at different values of a component parameter.
For example, if you choose your sweep iterator to be 10. Then that means you can choose to do the calculations 10 times and give any parameter of any component 10 values.
I encourage you to check the following link for detailed description:
Also, there are other lessons that might help you as an OptiSystem’s beginner-user to acquire the basics and the fundamentals and even to go deeply to the program.
Hi Alaa,
for the project of the screenshot you have sent to me, here is my suggestion to connect BER visualizer.
you can replace the “Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence Generator” and use the data generated by “BER Test Set”. Also connect the output of the QAM to the input of the “BER Test Set”. in this case the “BER Test Set” can compare the output bit stream to the input bit stream of the communication system.
so you can display Bit Errors, BER ..and other output statistics.
CW Laser diode could be used for your block High-Speed LD”.
for EOM, there are different modulators that could be used like “AM”, “Mach-Zehnder Modulator”, “Burst Modulator” and other modulators. you can use one of them based on the required output of the block diagram.
For the digital delay generator, there are three delay components “Binary Delay”, “Optical Delay”, and “Electrical Delay”. you can uses one of them based on your design. I mean, based on the type of the signal that you will delay you can use the suitable one of them.
For the Pattern generator, you can either use “User Defined Bit Sequence Generator” if you want to generate specific pattern or use “Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence Generator” for random bits generation.
So all blocks exist in OptiSystem to be used to build your system.
Hope that helps.
let us know if you have any other comments.
best of luck.
Hi Alaa,
To import the plot of any visualizer, there is an icon on the top left beside the Sampled tab. If you click on this icon, a menu appears including different options. One of these option is “Copy Image to Clipboard”, you can use it to import the results to word. Another option is “Export Data”.
to have x-y data. Other options you can use.
Ina,
if you compare layout2 and the Data2 QPSK, you might notice the difference is only that the input to the MZ is CW.
So based on this notice, I have replaced the input of MZ of the data2 by a combination of output of Data1 and another CW laser.
you will find that in the attached project for you. another important point based on this notice is that, the higher the power of the CW laser, the higher the Q factor of Data2.
I think this would help you the problem. just try to adjust the CW laser power to have acceptable Q factor for Data1 and Data2.
I think also the same Scenario will be used to add Data3 as well.
It is an interesting example
please update me on the progress if there is anything else we can help.
