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.

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.

OptiInstrument addresses the needs of researchers, scientists, photonic engineers, professors and students who are working with instruments.

The total dispersion is the total effect of material and waveguide dispersion. It is calculated in a similar way as for calculating waveguide dispersion. In this case, the fiber refractive index profile depends on the wavelength. The material dispersion effect should be calculated first. Then the mode solver calculates the mode effective index Neff . The total dispersion of a fiber is:
