2D Mode Solver Software

Product information "2D Mode Solver Software"

Wavelength Band UV-SWIR, 400-2150 nm; Scalar FEM Numerical Engine; Solution in Seconds; ASCII Fiber Profile Input & Data Output; System Requirements 64-bit MS Windows

Based on fiber refractive index profile data, Interfiber Analysis’ “2D Mode Solver” software package computes guided modes and mode properties, fiber bending/coiling effects, as well as mode coupling at splices. The software tool can analyze either 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional fiber index data so it can quantify the impact of any asymmetries in the fiber index profile.

With this tool, you can:

  • Compute 2-dimensional fiber modefields and mode properties
  • Predict mode coupling at fiber splices
  • Model fiber bending effects
  • Quantify impact of index profile asymmetries
  • Determine overlap between modes and cores
  • Analyze fiber, preform, or synthetic index profiles

These capabilities make the software particularly useful for customers working with high-power optical fibers. It is not only useful for existing IFA-100 users (who can use it to compute modes based on their IFA-100 data,) but also for those who use other equipment as it can be applied to fiber index data from other measurement devices (including preform profilers).

This very attractively priced software tool runs on MS Windows 64-bit computers, and unlike other competing software packages, we offer multiple licenses at the customer location for the price of a single purchase.

Key Features:

  • System Requirements: MS Windows 64-bit Computer
  • Numerical Engine: Scalar Finite Element Method (FEM)
  • Wavelength Band: UV to SWIR (400 nm to 2150 nm)
  • Solution Domain: 140 µm Diameter Disk
  • Solution Time: Seconds
  • Fiber Profile Input: ASCII Text Files (1- and 2-dimensional)
  • Data Output: ASCII Text, PNG or PDF Images
  • Computed Mode Properties: Electric Field, Optical Intensity, Effective Index, Group Index, Dispersion, Mode Field Diameter, Effective Area

Applications: Computing of Guided Modes, Mode Properties, Fiber Bending/Coiling Effects, Mode Coupling at Splices

RAYTELA™ Plastic Optical Fibers
Multi Mode, Step Index; 650 nm; Core Diameter 240-2,980 µm; Cladding Diameter 250-3,000 µm; Coating PE, PVC, Polyamide, PP, None; Numerical Aperture 0.46-0.58 Toray Industries' plastic optical fiber products, RAYTELA™, boast highly reliable transmission with low attenuation and excellent noise-resistant characteristics. RAYTELA is a multi mode, step index optical fiber with low loss and high reliability. Compared to optical fibers with cores made of silica or composite glass, plastic optical fibers (POF) are entirely made of polymer materials. Not only coatings and jackets, but also fiber core and cladding consist of polymers. While showing higher attenuation and lower transmission capacity, plastic optical fibers are less brittle, lightweight, more flexible, easier to handle and very cost-effective. The polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that makes up the core portion of the RAYTELA fiber uses a clean polymer made with integrated manufacturing from monomer through to fiber production. A special fluorine containing polymer is used for the cladding. Plastic optical fiber cords, curl cords or cables with PE, PVC, or PP jacket are also available. The cable diameter ranges between 5 and 6 mm. These lines have good resistance to heat, physical determination and chemicals. Furthermore, light guides with up to 64 fibers, bundled and jacketed for a temperature range up to +105°C are available. They are suitable for light sources of medical devices and display lighting for art objects among others. The portfolio comprises also plastic optical fiber cords for broadband communications and high NA fibers. Key Features: Multi Mode, Step Index Core Material: Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Core Diameter: 240 to 2,980 µm Cladding: Polymer Cladding Diameter: 250 to 3,000 µm Coating: PE, PVC, Polyamide, PP, None Coating Outside Diameter: 1.0 to 4.4 mm Cable Outside Diameter: 5.0, 6.0 mm Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.46 to 0.58 Attenuation at 650 nm: ≤0.15 to ≤0.30 dB/m Temperature Range: -55 to +70/+105 °C Flexible Lightweight Applications: Lighting; Decoration; Telecommunications; Short-range Data Communications; Industrial; Automotive; Medical Illumination; Endoscopes
