(Beam-Propagation-Method, BPM)BeamPROP is the industry leading design tool based on the well known Beam Propagation Method (BPM) for the design and simulation of integrated and fiber-optic waveguide devices and circuits. The software has been commercially available since 1994, and is in use by leading researchers and development engineers in both university and industrial environments worldwide. Applications BeamPROP has applications to a wide range of integrated and fiber-optic devices including, but not limited to: WDM devices such as arrayed waveguide grating routers Switches, e.g. directional coupler-based or digital-y type Modulators, e.g. Mach-Zehnder type Multimode interference devices Passive 1xN or NxN splitters Laser structure transverse mode analysis Standard and specialty fiber design Gratings Sensor structures BeamPROPT Product Overview BeamPROP is a highly integrated CAD and simulation program for design of integrated and fiber-optic waveguide devices and circuits. The software has been commercially available since 1994, and is in use by researchers and development engineers in both university and industrial environments.The main program contains a complete CAD layout system for design of waveguide devices and circuits, and controls simulation features such as numerical parameters, input field, and display and analysis options. The simulation program, which can be executed within the main program or standalone, performs the actual simulation and provides a graphical display of the field and other quantities of interest for analysis. FullWAVET Product Overview FullWAVE is a highly integrated CAD and simulation program for design of complex photonic devices. The software employs the finite-difference time- domain (FDTD) method for simulation, which allows analysis of devices, such as photonic bandgaps and ring resonators, that can not be modeled with techniques such as the efficient beam propagation method (BPM) which is used in RSofts BeamPROP and similar packages. The main control program is BeamPROPs complete CAD layout system for design of waveguide devices and circuits, and controls simulation features such as numerical parameters, input field, and display and analysis options.The FullWAVE simulation module, which can be executed within the main program or standalone, performs the actual simulation and provides a graphical display of the field and other quantities of interest for analysis.
