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. laser-fiber coupling.
- A library of multimode photodetectors and receivers that include the effects of losses due to optical misalignments.
- Lenses and aperture components that allow for manipulating the spatial distribution of optical signals.
- Encircled Flux Analyzer that allows for calculating Average Radial Intensity and Encircled Flux.
- Measured Transverse Mode Generator: These robust components attach measured transverse mode profiles using the popular F3D format to the input signal. They also convert single mode signals to multimode signals.
- Measured Index Multimode Fiber: A new LP mode solver in OptiSystem 5.0 increases accuracy when calculating group delay for fibers with an arbitrary refractive index.
- Spatial Visualizer: Displays different 3D graphs used for analysis of the spatial modes: Individual, weightened and the sum of all modes for each polarization.
- Differential Mode Delay Analyzer: It transmits and receives optical pulses, automatically introduces radial offsets between transmitter and fiber, allowing for analysis of Differential Mode Delay and Pulse Width versus radial offset.
