Request InfoOptiwave Systems Inc.Optiwave Corp. has launched version 2.0 of its WDM_Phasar software for designing and simulating phasar arrays. New features enable designs with lower insertion loss and possibilities for flattening passbands. The new version also accepts unequal channel spacing, which can reduce four-wave mixing effects in WDM systems on dispersion-shifted fibers. The layout on the screen is exportable to Calma GDSII or AutoCAD DXF file formats for preparing masks.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/18/2018Fiberguide RARe Motheye Fiber: Random Anti-Reflective (RARe) Nanostructures on Optical Fibers as Replacement for AR CoatingsAnti-reflective (AR) coatings are now entering their second century and have remained virtually unchanged throughout their life.
