Abstract

System simulation tools can enhance and accelerate user modeling capabilities and provide real field design scenarios using extensive industry specifications. Users of these tools include optical component and equipment manufacturers, system integrators, service providers, as well as government labs and academic institutions. Modeling tools can be used to maximize performance, minimize costs, reduce time-to-market, fast-prototyping, and analyze multiple “what-if” scenarios for optical communication networks. In this chapter we briefly review three system level modeling tools that are commercially available, namely, OptSim™ from RSoft Design Group (http://​www.​rsoftdesign.​com), VPItransmissionMaker™ Optical Systems from VPIphotonics, a division of VPIsystems (http://​www.​vpiphotonics.​com), and OptiSystem™ from Optiwave Systems Corporation (http://​www.​optiwave.​com). This is not an attempt to compare the tools and no recommendation should be implied from the order or content of the material presented, but rather a presentation of what resources are available to the scientific community.
