Modeling of nonlinear propagation in optical fibre systems

Optiwave Systems Inc. has an immediate requirement to augment the simulation capabilities of its fiber optic propagation models. Its highest priority is the development of a vector-based model to accurately represent polarization-dependent optical systems. Its current models include both scalar and vector implementations; however the later model uses approximations to allow for faster execution times which are not always accurate. The applicant, Dr. Anis, has a long experience in modeling of ultrafast optical fiber systems. These models have been experimentally verified and published in a number of Journals over the past few years. In this project, the applicant will work with OptiWave system Inc. to develop an accurate vectorial model for pulse propagation in different optical transmission media and to integrate such a model in OptiWave's optical simulation package.
