Engineering simulation software
We select and deploy simulation software for engineers, scientists, and universities in Poland. We are the authorized distributor of two world leaders — Lambda Research and Optiwave.
Lambda Research — lighting and optical system simulation
For over 30 years, Lambda Research has created software for designing and analyzing optical and lighting systems. Their tools are used in industry, science, and space exploration worldwide. SPECTROPOL is the exclusive authorized distributor in Poland.

The leading software for simulating and optimizing optical systems using ray tracing.
TracePro enables the design, analysis, and optimization of lighting and optical systems using Monte Carlo simulation and ray tracing. It supports CAD imports (STEP, IGES, SAT) and offers an extensive library of materials and light sources. Used in LED lighting design, projection systems, measurement instruments, and precision optics. A 14-day trial version is available.
An advanced environment for designing and optimizing optical elements.
OSLO (Optics Software for Layout and Optimization) combines ray tracing, aberration analysis, and automatic optimization of lens systems. It offers a wide range of optimization algorithms and tolerance analysis tools. Ideal for lens designers, projection systems, and scientific instruments. Available in Edu (free for universities) and Premium editions.
Ray path visualization directly within SolidWorks.
RayViz is a SolidWorks plugin for interactively visualizing ray paths within a CAD model without exporting geometry. It lets engineers check the optical behavior of mechanical assemblies directly during the design phase. Shortens the iteration cycle between mechanical and optical design. Requires an active SolidWorks license.
Optiwave — photonic and optical network simulation
Optiwave is a Canadian company with over 30 years of experience developing software for photonics, optoelectronics, and optical network engineers. Their tools are the standard in research and industrial institutions worldwide. SPECTROPOL provides licenses and technical support across Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.

A comprehensive environment for simulating optical transmission systems.
OptiSystem simulates optical signal transmission in WDM, DWDM, and CWDM systems with a library of over 600 components. It enables the design and analysis of links, amplifiers, multiplexers, and detectors. Supports BER analysis, eye diagrams, and spectral characteristics. The standard in telecom labs and technical universities.
Photonic component simulation using the FDTD method.
OptiFDTD uses the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method to model electromagnetic wave propagation in photonic structures. It enables the design and analysis of waveguides, resonators, photonic crystals, and plasmonic structures. Includes 2D and 3D solvers with GPU acceleration.
Optical waveguide design using the Beam Propagation Method.
OptiBPM models beam propagation in waveguide structures using the BPM method. It supports the design of integrated optical circuits, splitters, couplers, and modulators. 2D and 3D solvers available with mode and nonlinear propagation analysis.
GPU-accelerated FDTD solver with mode analysis for photonic devices.
OptiOmega is Optiwave's newest tool, combining a GPU-accelerated FDTD solver with a mode solver. It delivers many times faster computation compared to traditional CPU solvers — especially for large 3D structures. Designed for the design and analysis of photonic devices in nanophotonics, silicon photonics, and photonic integrated circuits.
Simulation of optoelectronic circuits combining optical and electronic elements.
OptiSPICE enables the design and analysis of integrated circuits combining optical and electronic components. It supports DC, AC, and transient simulations for circuits with lasers, photodetectors, and modulators. Essential for designing Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC).
Design and analysis of optical fiber parameters.
OptiFiber calculates the propagation parameters of optical fibers — dispersion, mode profile, attenuation, and nonlinear effects. It supports single-mode, multimode, photonic crystal (PCF), and specialty fibers. Useful for designing fibers for specific applications.
Simulation and design of Bragg and diffraction gratings in waveguides.
OptiGrating analyzes Bragg gratings (FBG) and diffraction gratings integrated with waveguides and optical fibers. It enables the optimization of spectral characteristics for filters, sensors, and laser stabilizers. Used in telecommunications and optical metrology.
Mode analysis for waveguides and optical fibers.
OptiMode calculates mode distributions, effective indices, and field profiles for any waveguide cross-section. It supports isotropic and anisotropic structures, essential for designing silicon-organic and photonic waveguides.
Virtual measurement instruments for testing optical systems.
OptiInstrument provides simulated measurement instruments — spectrum analyzers, optical oscilloscopes, BER testers — integrated with OptiSystem. It enables a realistic representation of a lab environment without physical hardware.
