OptiLayer GmbH presented new versions of the software at the OPTOTECH exhibition in Frankfurt in May 2024.

OptiReOpt_Pro from OptiLayer

OptiReOpt_Pro is an advanced OptiLayer software application that provides a unique opportunity to control and optimize the production of optical coatings. It uses broadband monitoring (BBM) to enable the most complex coatings to be fabricated. As a part of the OptiLayer software, this software plays a crucial role in ensuring that the final product meets the desired specifications. Even in the case of coatings with dozens of layers, computations are so fast that reliable determination of the parameters of the deposited layers and reoptimization of the parameters of the remaining layers does not require interrupting the deposition process. Using this software, you can obtain optimized coating designs, reduce production costs, and shorten production cycles. OptiReOpt_Pro is the ideal solution for those who want to achieve the highest level of quality and performance in their optical coatings, resulting in superior products that meet the most demanding requirements.

What’s New in OptiReOpt_Pro?

High Stability against Production and Monitoring Errors
The new version significantly improves the stability of OptiReOpt algorithms with respect to various production and monitoring errors. This includes improved computational stability to fluctuations of deposition rates, noise in monitoring data, fluctuations of monitoring signal.

Improved Log Analysis with JSON Formatting
In this feature of this version is the structured log in JSON format. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format designed to be easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. With the structured log in JSON format, it becomes easier to analyze and extract data from the log files. The structure provides a clear and easy-to-understand representation of the log messages, making it easier to detect issues and errors. Another great advantage of having a structured log in JSON format is that we can build dashboards in real-time. This means that we can monitor the logs as they are being generated and
view real-time metrics and visualizations. This can be incredibly useful for detecting issues and addressing potential problems before they become major incidents. We can also set up alerts and notifications, which can be sent to relevant team members to take action immediately.

Collaboration Made Easy: Using Jupiter Notebook for Data Analysis
In the new version, we also use Jupiter Notebook, an interactive web application that allows users to create and share documents containing live code, visualizations, and narrative text. One of the main features of Jupiter Notebook is the ability to display multimedia media content, including images and videos, alongside live code cells.  

Improved Documentation on OptiReOpt VDP Functions
In the new version, we provide a detailed description of the OptiReOpt virtual deposition processes functions (VDP-functions), which allows you to use these functions in the most effective way. Preliminary computational experiments to simulate the production of optical coatings allow more accurate control of the deposition process.

Take Full Advantage of OptiReOpt_Pro’s Benefits with Linux Compatibility
We are pleased to announce that our OptiReOpt_Pro software is now compatible with Linux, allowing users to take advantage of this operating system. With OptiReOpt_Pro for Linux, users can expect lightning-fast performance, enhanced security features, and full integration with existing Linux-based infrastructure for a seamless and streamlined experience.

OptiReOpt_Pro v.07.03 is much faster!
