OptiFiber: Cutting-edge Optical Fiber Design

The optimal design of a given optical communication system depends directly on the choice of optical fiber parameters. Dimensions of the fiber cross-section, material composition, and refractive index profile all influence important linear and non-linear phenomena. OptiFiber uses numerical mode solvers and other models specialized to fibers for calculating dispersion, losses, birefringence, and PMD.

OptiFiber’s ability to help manufacturers optimize a particular design depending on their goals opens the door for numerous applications, from performing a simple single-mode fiber simulation to supplementing real lab devices like an NR-9200 Optical Fiber Analyzer. OptiFiber melds an intuitive user interface with an incredible set of capabilities to build a smooth experience for engineers, scientists, and students alike.
