OptiBPM is a computer-aided design software tool for optical waveguides and optical fibres. It can also be used for systems of waveguides and fibres that perform guiding, coupling, switching, splitting, multiplexing, and demultiplexing of optical signals in photonic devices. OptiBPM is based on the Beam Propagation Method (BPM) of simulating the passage of light through any waveguide medium, both isotropic and anisotropic. With OptiBPM you can observe the near field distribution and examine the radiation and guided field simultaneously. OptiBPM can improve a design engineers productivity, reduce risk, and lower overall costs related to design of waveguides.

The first job in optical component design is the modal analysis of the optical waveguide itself. OptiMode is a complete software suite dedicated to modal analysis of waveguides. Any waveguide can be analysed by a number of numerical algorithms, and many levels of analysis are possible - scalar, semi-vector, full vector, electric formulation, magnetic formulation, isotropic, anisotropic... The waveguide design can be parameterized, and optimized. Scanning over parameters with graphical output is supported with simple dialog boxes. Complex waveguides (such as photonic crystals) can be created with the same VB Script as found in OptiBPM and OptiFDTD. Post processing and review of simulation data is available in the OptiMode Analyzer application.
