OptiSystem Multimode Edition facilitates the design, analysis and simulation of multimode fiber communication systems. By temporal and spatial propagation of signals OptiSystem MMC can handle system level analysis of communication technologies including 10 GB Ethernet. Multimode Component Library Features * A library of multimode lasers and transmitters that generate transverse output fields with different profiles, including Laguerre-Gaussian and Hermite-Gaussian profiles. * Multimode fiber models, including Parabolic-Index and Measured-Index profile. Advanced mode-solvers allows for calculation of coupling coefficients and modal delays for different fiber profiles. * Integration with OptiFiber that allows the users to design fibers and import the refractive index profile into OptiSystem. * Spatial couplers that allow for simulation of the rotation, shifts and tilts between different components, e.g....

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.Reliably characterizing the beam facilitates computer-aided design of a variety of integrated and fiber optic guided wave problems. OptiBPM delivers significant new features, such as the ability to define and use anisotropic materials in layout designs and waveguide simulations. OptiBPM can improve design engineers’ productivity, reduce risk, and lower overall costs related to design of waveguide solutions. OptiBPM’s high-value functionality includes powerful integration capabilities with our award-winning optical communication system software, OptiSystem, and with Design Workshop’s dw-2000, a mask layout physical design and verification software. Applications * Design optical splitters, combiners, couplers, multiplexers,...

The latest version of OptiFDTD maximizes the capabilities of 64-bit operating systems, providing: * Access to large amounts of memory not possible with 32-bit operating systems. * Scalability for multicore processors, and multiprocessor motherboards. * Faster overall performance and rendering.New 2D Cauchy Integral mode solverThe 2D mode solver in OptiFDTD 9.0 is now enhanced to find lossy and leaky modes, as well as surface plasmon modes. This mode solver exploits the Cauchy Integral rule – where the number of poles inside a closed path in the complex plane is given from the path integral over the contour. New OptiMODE XS Designer (create projects out of mode solving) OptiFDTD 10.0 introduces a new application enabling users to create complete projects out...

\”FDTD Solutions running on a new Intel Core i7 processor has provided up to a three-fold speed up of our simulations,\” according to Magued Boshra Nasr, Ph.D., a Senior Research Scientist at Boston-based solar cell start-up Lightwave Power, Inc. \”Lightwave Power is focused on commercializing breakthrough improvements to current solar cells in the form of inexpensive nano-patterned thin films that can improve their efficiency. FDTD Solutions allows us to quantify that improvement, and quickly generate results that agree with our experimental measurements.\” The new parameterization capabilities of FDTD Solutions Release 6.5 will help researchers better understand how key parameters impact design performance. \”In our work designing plasmonic light trapping layers for silicon solar cells, we have recently shown that a...

TracePro 7 now supports multi-core processors using multi-threading. This improvement is completely transparent except for a speed increase during ray tracing on multi-core systems. TracePro will use whatever cores are available. Both Win32 and x64 TracePro, and all TracePro Editions, have this feature.The Irradiance Options dialog box has been enhanced with new functionality. New irradiance mapfeatures include the following: ◦New rainbow color palette. The previous rainbow has been renamed to (blue max) to distinguish it from the new rainbow. The new rainbow palette has pure RGB red for the highest flux value, with colors progressing through the rainbow down to violet for lowest flux values.◦New normalizations. The Normalize to emitted flux checkbox has been removed, and now there is a...

Radiant Imaging Radiant Imaging, a provider of imaging systems for colour and light measurement, has released ProSource 8.0 for light source near-field data analysis and ray generation. ProSource 8.0 provides simple, intuitive program navigation, enhanced graphics, and improved ray generation from Radiant Source Model data files. The software is intended for use by light source and lighting system designers and developers, and applies to all light sources including emerging LED applications. ProSource 8.0 provides an intuitive interface to allow the user to view, manipulate, and process Radiant Source Model (RSM) data files simply and quickly. The user interface and graphics allows users to rapidly access and analyse RSM information, resulting in both time savings and deeper understanding of light source...

tructure groups The ability to group structures is one of the main new features in FDTD 6.5. Groups can be moved, rotated and copied as a single object. In addition to simple grouping, it is possible to create parameterized group-objects by adding script code to the group. For example, it is possible to create a Photonic Crystal Array group with a Pitch input parameter. When the Pitch parameter is changed, all objects in the group will automatically move to the appropriate position. For an example of how to create and use a group see the pc micro cavity tutorial in the getting started section. Analysis (monitor) groups The ability to group monitors into Analysis groups is one of the main...
