optomize design
It is used in various applications faced by EDFA engineers, from optical equipment configuration optimization to system interconnection and power loss estimation.

HS_Design analyzes the optical characteristics of crystal epitaxial structure in the growth process, including buffering, separation, etching, contact, coating and metallization, through microscopic simulation of each semiconductor layer.

If the structure represents a vertical laminated structure, transmission, reflection and absorption spectra can also be obtained. If the simulated structure is a flat waveguide, the transverse mode properties can also be calculated.
FDTD_CAD
FDTD CAD is a powerful and user-friendly software for computer-aided design of advanced active and passive optical devices. The theoretical basis of FDTD_CAD is finite element method in time domain (FDTD), which can directly calculate Maxwell's equations in time domain. Different from other methods that must assume the propagation field type or specific propagation direction, FDTD method does not simply make any prior assumptions about the propagation behavior of light. Therefore, FDTD calculation can provide all or discrete time domain information in the whole calculation window at any time. If frequency domain information is needed, the corresponding data can be obtained by discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The powerful function of FDTD method in FDTD CAD software lies in its integration of dynamic characteristics, which can be efficiently used in the following models: light transmission, scattering, refraction, reflection, polarization effect, material anisotropy, dispersion and nonlinearity, dielectric loss and gain.
