PICWave

A photonic IC, laser diode and SOA simulator

Options

Optional Modules for PicWave

Active Module

The Active Module adds the ability to simulate the effects of charge carriers in active materials. It will allow you to simulate all sorts of active devices including SOAs and laser diodes, even tuneable lasers consisting of many different sections.

It also includes an electro-absorption modulator model.

Harold

Our hetero-structure model Harold can be used to generate gain curves for PICWave. PICWave can fit gain curves imported from Harold using a Multiple Lorentzian Gain Model, allowing it to model the gain spectra accurately over a broad range of wavelength. Gain spectra from other sources can be fitted too.
