OptiBPM - Waveguide Optics Design Software

 

OVERVIEW

OptiBPM is the computer-aided design software tool enabling design of complex optical waveguides, which perform guiding, coupling, switching, splitting, multiplexing, and demultiplexing of optical signals in photonic devices.

Based on the Beam Propagation Method (BPM) of simulating light passage through any waveguide medium, OptiBPM allows designers to observe computer-simulated light field distribution and examine the radiation and the guided field, simultaneously.

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

• Accommodates waveguides integrated on a substrate, including channel waveguides, rib or ridge waveguides, buried waveguides, or waveguides from a diffused process
• Facilitates design of Splitters, Combiners, Couplers, Modulators, Multiplexers, and AWGs
• Models on both the device scale and (in conjunction with OptiSystem) on the photonic circuit scale
• Facilitates the design of optical fiber based devices.
