Optiwave OptiFiber v2.1.0.145
New FeaturesThe 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. Meshless Mode Solvers for LP and Vector Modes:Optical fibers may consist of an arbitrary number of concentric layers of lossless materials, and graded index fibers can be approximated using a sequence of constant index layers. OptiFiber 2.0 mode solvers find an exact solution based on matching boundary conditions at layer boundaries instead of relying on meshes to approximate the structure. These advanced mode solvers should be especially useful for multimode fiber calculations, where there are many modes in the spectrum. Another advantage of the...
