17 May 2006 VPItransmissionMaker WDM accelerates the design of new photonic systems including link and all-optical networks, and allows upgrade and component substitution strategies to be developed for existing plants. Multiple signal representations and the sophisticated simulation scheduler enable efficient modeling of arbitrary WDM systems. The unique Sample Mode supports bidirectional interactions on picosecond timescales for filter design, and the Block Mode gives accurate and efficient simulation of multichannel WDM systems. Parameterized signals, noise bins and distortions allow efficient modeling of complex systems.
