Optiwave Announces Software Agreement with Corning Bundling Deal Will Boost Customer Productivity

Ottawa, Canada - Optiwave Corporation, a world leader in the development of optical simulation software for the fiber optics telecommunications industry, today announced the formation of a software relationship with Corning Incorporated.

The two companies have entered into an OEM agreement whereby Optiwave’s EDFA_Design LITE software tool for the design of optical amplifiers and lasers will be distributed with Corning® PureMode™ Erbium-doped photonic fiber. Optiwave’s software tool will use encrypted characterized data to enable easy amplifier design based on PureMode fiber.

This agreement involves the distribution of two versions of Optiwave’s EDFA_Design LITE software. The relationship will allow Corning and Optiwave to combine their technological expertise to target the high-growth fiber optics market.

"We are thrilled to announce this new initiative. It represents the first step in what we believe will be a long and productive relationship with Corning," said Velko Tzolov, VP of Marketing and Sales at Optiwave Corporation. "By combining our efforts, we can offer customers an incredible advantage.  This also demonstrates our mutual commitment to provide users with a comprehensive solution tailored to meet their specific design requirements. Corning’s selection of Optiwave products reinforces our position as the industry’s top developer of fiber optics design software."

EDFA_Design LITE is a powerful software tool which allows users to evaluate or predict the behaviour of real erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, using specific fiber data provided by the manufacturer. EDFA_Design LITE simulates the behaviour of the amplified fiber and provides the user with accurate results that are comparable to real life applications.

“Corning erbium-doped fiber customers benefit from world-class uniformity, an extremely important element in good amplifier design,” said William T. Morris, business manager of PureMode Fiber. “We’re now enhancing that advantage with EDFA_Design LITE, a powerful and user-friendly application that enables customers to design optical fiber amplifiers in a timely and cost effective manner.”
