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.
OptiFiber 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.

Note: This script will perform 3 iterations with a 0.15µm step-down from the starting wavelength.
• First wavelength = 1.55µm
• Second wavelength = 1.40µm
• Third wavelength = 1.25µm
For more information on scripting, see the OptiBPM User’s Guide.3From the Simulation menu, select Edit Parameters.
The Variables and Functions dialog box appears.4Type the following values:
Name: wavelength
Expression: 1.555To set the value, click Verify.
The value is set automatically to 1.55 (Expression setting).6To apply the settings, click Add/Apply.
The wavelength settings appear under the User Variables tab (see
Figure 13).

Before running the simulation, test the script for errors by running the scripting page (Simulation > Run Script, or press Play on the Script toolbar).
If you have made a VB syntax error, a message with the line number and description of the problem will appear in the Notification tab of the Output Window. If you only get the message “Warning: Running of Script will clear Undo Redo stacks”, then all is well, and you should proceed. If you get error messages in addition to the warning, check your spelling and typing of the script before going to simulation.
Note: In later lessons, you will learn that many scripts can change the layout. This is a desirable feature for advanced simulations, but keep in mind that running these scripts will change the layout you have drawn.9From the Simulation menu, select Calculate 2D Isotropic Simulation.
The Simulation Parameters dialog box appears.10Type the following setting:
Wavelength (µm): wavelength11Under Simulation technique, click Simulate Using Script (see Figure 14).

To start the simulation, click Run.
The OptiBPM_Simulator window opens and a VBScript prompt box appears and displays the wavelength of Iteration 1.13To open OptiBPM_Analyzer and view the simulation results, in the prompt box that appears at the end of the simulation, click Yes.
