OptiLayer Module of OptiLayer Thin Film Software

• Carefully developed interface and a number of automatic modes enable solving the most complicated design problems even if you do not have special experience in optical coatings design.

• If you are an experienced designer: special design modes meet the most sophisticated requirements and enable an effective application of all your experience to the fastest solution of various design problems.

• Diverse analysis modes of OptiLayer provide you with all the necessary tools for predicting manufacturing and application properties of any design.

• Design and analysis can be performed over wide spectral ranges and wide angular ranges for coatings with dispersive and absorbing layer materials.

• Monitoring options.

• Broadband (BBM) and single wavelength monitoring simulations.

• Error analysis options.

All our design, analysis and monitoring options have demonstrated outstanding performance! Read more in our publications.

Core Expertise:

OptiLayer allows the designing of all types of multilayers in accordance with desired specifications, among them:

• Antireflection coatings: narrow band, broad band, single or multiple band, omnidirectional;

• High reflectors and mirrors: cold and hot mirrors, dichroic mirrors;

• Chirp and dispersive mirrors for laser applications;

• Filters of all types: edge filters, band pass filters, narrow band pass filters, notch filters, WDM filters, gain flattening filters;

• Beamsplitters;

• Polarizers;

• Color coatings, dichroic color filters;

• Rugate coatings

Operation Ranges:

OptiLayer operates in any spectral and angular range. Spectral units can be specified in nm, A, μm, cm^-1, eV, keV, 2∏/cm, μm^-1, THz, GHz and g-numbers.

OptiLayer allows specifying T, R unit, namely in relative units (0 to 1), in percentage (0 to 100 %),  logarithmic units including dB Attenuation, and Optical Density.

OptiLayer evaluates color properties in all existing color spaces (CIE xyz, CIE L^*b^*, CIE H⁰LC, CIE L^*u^*v^*, Hunter Lab) and Color Rendering Index.

OptiLayer provides the design, evaluation and reliable characterization of coatings composed of various materials:

• dielectrics,
• metals,
• metal-dielectric,
• ITO, TCO,
• mixtures
