FABRICATION-FOCUSED BRAGG GRATING DESIGN TOOL

Grating Design Software (GDS)

Grating Design Software (GDS) from Sol Photonics is an user friendly simulation tool to easily design Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG’s).

Unlike other FBG simulation tools GDS has a direct link with reality, i.e. FBG manufacturing using the phasemask method. In GDS the simulation parameters are defined based on the phasemask pitch and chirp rate. Furthermore, the effective refractive index of the fiber is calculated by inserting parameters from the fiber manufacturer.

Simulations made with GDS has been extensively tested in real world applications.
