Optiwave OptiGrating v4.2.2

A complex grating is approximated by a sequence of uniform segments, and analyzed by connecting the segments with the well-known Transfer Matrix Method. This gives the designer the information needed to test and optimize grating designs.

Applications:

• WDM add/drop, narrow and broadband fiber and waveguide filters;
• Fiber Bragg reflectors;
• EDFA gain flattening elements;
• Dispersion compensators for fiber communications;
• Sideband suppression using grating apodization;
• Fiber and waveguide sensors;
• Long Period Gratings with coupling to cladding modes.
