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.

Compatibility:
In this lesson we check that the layer peeling algorithm can reconstruct an unknown
grating with knowledge of only the reflection coefficient. In the first step, we select a
typical grating with chirp and apodization and calculate its reflection coefficient. This
spectrum is then exported to a text file. In the next step, OptiGrating is run again and
the spectrum file imported. The layer peeling algorithm is applied to the imported
spectrum to reconstruct the original grating.
Step
1
File > Open. Choose file Ex1a.ifo.
2
Select the Profile tab to see the details of this grating.
It has a linear chirp of 0.2 nm, and a gaussian apodization with FWHM = 0.5.
3
Select the Power tab to see the reflection and transmission spectra.
Note: You can press Calculate to calculate the spectrum again, if desired.
4
Click on Spectrum in the Single Fiber drop down menu, then click on the graph in the main window to active it.
5
Select Tools > Export Complex Spectrum and select the Reflection button as shown below:
6
Click Export.
7
In the Save As dialog box, find a suitable place and name for your data file.
8
Close Ex1a.ifo.
Step
1
Now, open a new project with File > New > Single Fiber.
2
Choose Calculation > Inverse Scattering Solver to get the Inverse Problem Solver dialog box.
3
Select the From File checkbox.
4
Navigate to the place where you left the file with the reflection spectrum. Open the file.
5
We suppose that the original length of the grating is known, so enter 50000 μm in the Length box. (Feel free to experiment with different lengths.)
The original spectrum was generated with a profile having 100 segments. It is not necessary that the reconstruction have the same number, here it is set to 1000.
6
Click on the Causality button to test this spectrum.
Since this spectrum was generated from a real grating, it displays exactly the causal property of being zero for negative argument.
7
Click Close.
8
Click Start in the Inverse Problem Solver dialog box to begin the
reconstruction.
9
Click on Spectrum to enable all tabs.
10
Select the Profile tab to see the reconstructed profile.
The apodization appears to be a similar shape as the original grating.
11
To see the chirp more clearly, right click the mouse in the Profile window and select Chirp Period.
. . . to get the following:
The chirp is linear and shifts by 0.2 nm, like the original grating.
12
Select the Power tab to compare the reflectivities, one from the imported complex spectrum and the other from the calculated response of the reconstructed grating.
