OptiSystem
Optical communication system design software
Highlights
Hierarchical design from optical components to systems (at the physical layer) with validated models of fiber optic communications systems
Single-mode, multi-mode, multi-core, and free-space optical channels
Advanced modulation schemes (mQAM, PAMx, mPSK, OFDM, PAS)
Optical amplifiers including all rare-earth doped materials (Er, Yb, Pr, Tm, Ho), SOA, RAMAN
User-defined components’ parameters and VB/Python script language
Extensive library of active and passive components, including wavelength-dependent parameters
Description
OptiSystem is an optical communication system simulation package for designing, testing, and optimizing virtually any type of optical link in the physical layer of a broad spectrum of optical networks, from analog video broadcasting systems to intercontinental backbones. A system-level simulator based on the realistic modeling of fiber-optic communication systems, OptiSystem possesses a powerful simulation environment and a truly hierarchical definition of components and systems. Its capabilities can be easily expanded with the addition of user components and seamless interfaces to a range of widely used tools. OptiSystem is compatible with Optiwave’s OptiSPICE, OptiInstrument, OptiGrating, and OptiBPM design tools.
