Optiwave Corporation Announces Release of OptiSystem 2.0

Ottawa, Canada - February 2002: Optiwave Corporation, a world leader in the development of optical simulation software for the fiber optics telecommunications industry, is pleased to announce the release of OptiSystem version 2.0.

OptiSystem 2.0 represents a revolutionary upgrade to an already cutting edge system design tool. Major enhancements include an expanded component library (over 200 modules), improved UI functionality, enhanced library management, expanded graph views, and new path creation and path tracing tools.

All library components in OptiSystem 2.0 have been tested in order to deliver results that are comparable to real-life applications. The improved interface allows for synchronized panels, drag and drop selection of graphs for viewing, and auto-connection of components in project layouts.

Management of libraries is facilitated as users can enable/disable component libraries to maximize memory resources. Single components or entire component libraries can be imported into a system without restarting the application. Moreover, the expanded graph views provide several graphical representations of the project, including multiple curves on one graph, multiple curves on a 3D surface graph, and 3D graphs with a 3-dimensional image of graph data. The new path creation tool allows users the flexibility to specify the start and end components. The path creation tool then creates the path intuitively. Users can also trace any signal value along a specified path. The path-tracing feature allows users to define a path through several components, creating multi-colored paths for easy identification.

Today’s increasingly complex optical communications systems require sophisticated and powerful simulation tools. OptiSystem - Optiwave’s newest optical design software - provides a truly powerful tool that will enable users to plan, test, and simulate almost every type of optical link in the physical layer of a broad spectrum of optical networks. In an industry where time-to-market is imperative for success, users of OptiSystem can minimize time requirements as well as expenses related to the design of optical systems, links and components.

OptiSystem 2.0 is fully compatible with Optiwave’s entire line of optical design and simulation products.
