CAD: Optiwave OptiBPM Optical Simulation Software

The Optiwave tool set includes:

• Layout and analysis tools
• 2D/3D mode solvers
• Integrated scripting capability
• Support for multi-processor and multi-core simulation
• GDSII/DXF output mask formats

The OptiBPM’s simulator is based on the 2D/3D beam propagation method (BPM):

• Typical uses include slowly varying structures, low index contrast structures and long structures which would be too large for FDTD
• Short simulation times
