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. See here for a full list of PICWave features.

Connected Products

The following products are closely integrated with PICWave and greatly enhance PICWave’s capabilities.

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 Wide-Band 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.

FIMMPROP

Allows you to model almost any passive photonic component rigorously and include the resulting model in a PICWave circuit simulation. See here for additional information.
