OptiWave also provides a comprehensive solution for designing Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). By partnering with institutes like the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre (CPFC), OptiWave offers a design-to-manufacturing workflow that enables fabrication-aware simulation of custom III-V devices. This workflow is critical for protecting both epitaxial and layout design IP while ensuring that the simulated designs can be successfully manufactured. optiwave optisystem

For a perpetual license, the academic price is approximately $10,000 USD, which grants the user ownership of the license indefinitely. Alternatively, there is a yearly license option, which costs approximately 30% of the perpetual license price, making it a more accessible short-term option. For commercial users, the cost is typically higher, with some reports of version 14 being quoted around $12,000 USD. For those who want to test the software before committing, OptiWave also provides a 30-day free trial version. This workflow is critical for protecting both epitaxial
