FilmStar Optical Thin Film
Software is a suite of Windows
programs for designing, manufacturing, and measuring optical thin film
coatings. Optical coatings are applied to glass and other surfaces by high
vacuum deposition. FilmStar is distinguished by its ease-of-use and
connectivity to monitoring instruments and spectrometers. FilmStar stands
alone in the ability of its users to customize and automate. |

Scantraq
is a standalone
version of FilmStar MEASURE, marketed to chemists and spectroscopists
and supporting UV/Vis/IR data acquisition and
analysis from popular PerkinElmer, Varian, and Agilent models. With its
built-in development tools, Scantraq provides a powerful alternative
to the software supplied by instrument manufacturers.

Why FilmStar?...Already have design
software? That's a good start, but profitably producing
coatings also requires the ability to monitor, measure, characterize,
and re-engineer. When it comes to the business of coating,
FilmStar is unmatched. Over the past few years we've sent a number
of informative e-mail messages to prospective users. Please browse
these e-adverts and
Flash videos to
discover how FilmStar will help your work and career in optical films.

Two more points: 1. You'll have no
problem using FilmStar in conjunction with other programs. 2. There's a good chance that
a design from one program will be improved in another.

Measuring color filters? Not sure
whether a rapid-scan diode-array spectrometer will do the job?
Click here for an interesting discussion.
While low cost diode-array instruments
offer high throughput (scans in seconds), traditional double-beam
spectrophotometers are more precise. Both types of instruments have
their place.
That's why FilmStar
MEASURE (Scantraq for chemists) support
ranges from Ocean Optics USB2000 to PerkinElmer Lambda 1050. No other
software package in the world offers the same versatility. |

Gambling on coating yields? What's worse than rejecting a purchase order because its specifications exceed your production capabilities?
Accepting the order! (As the old joke goes, you can lose money on
each coating run because you'll make it up in volume.)
To prosper in optical thin films you need
software that estimates your odds of success. You need
FilmStar! Unlike
other software, FilmStar lets you predict percent yields for complex
spectral requirements. Of course, not all errors are
random. That's why FilmStar provides
inverse-synthesis
(reverse engineering) and layer error
analysis. |
