Capabilities
Multilayer analysis
Simulate optical stacks, including materials such as glass and SiO2, and inspect how each layer changes the spectrum.
Spectral results
Read transmittance, reflectance, and absorptance in the same workspace, without exporting to a separate viewer.
Photocurrent
Calculate short-circuit current density from the spectral response of the coating.
Optimization
Search layer configuration with Monte Carlo sampling or a genetic algorithm when the design space is too large to tune by hand.
Optimization
Premium includes two search methods for coating stacks. Both are aimed at a spectral target rather than a single thickness guess.
Monte Carlo
Statistical sampling across a large design space, used to locate configurations that meet the target.
Genetic algorithm
Selection and recombination of layer designs across generations, used to improve the optical response iteratively.
