AUGUST 29, 2006 -- OptiBPM 8 introduces advanced LP and vector mode solvers for circular fibers.

AUGUST 29, 2006 -- Optiwave Systems Inc. (search Optiwave) today announced the release of OptiBPM 8, the latest version of its waveguide optics design suite. According to the company, this version includes new mode solvers for circular fibers, powerful optimization engines, and a dramatic increase in simulation performance.

"OptiBPM 8 is providing an incredible boost to my research in integrated optics because of enhanced speed, increased capabilities, advanced displays, and simplified ease of use," reports Professor Alastair McAulay of Lehigh University. "As a result, the design and application of miniaturized optical circuits, critical for our research in communications and computers, is advancing more rapidly with OptiBPM 8."

OptiBPM 8 introduces advanced LP and vector mode solvers for circular fibers. These new meshless fiber mode solvers find modes using a transfer matrix method in cylindrical coordinates.

Additional new features in OptiBPM 8 include intelligent optimization engines, the ability to import DXF and GDSII mask file formats, and a simulation engine performance boost where OptiBPM 8 runs 50% faster than previous versions, claim Optiwave representatives.
