We mourn the passing of our friend George Dobrowolski,
a pioneer in optical films and a true gentleman with whom
we had many illuminating discussions over the years.

The FilmStar DESIGN Free Version is a powerful implementation with fixed indices. It may be all that is required for your purposes.

Go to FilmStar home page 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.
Go to Scantraq home page

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.


FilmStar - when productivity is essential...Visit us at OIC 2013 in Whistler and learn about the Five Point Path to success in optical thin films: MEASURE, ARCHIVE, ANALYZE, OPTIMIZE, AUTOMATE.

Color Grid Plots...DESIGN 2.61.3130 adds the ability to export RGB color. The image at the left shows highpass colors vs. angle and design wavelength. The image at the right indicates how tooling factor variations affect the appearance of AR coats. Click here to learn more.


Lower costs and increase profits!...Need %R or %T as a function of temperature? Example: -50°C - 300°C x 5°. That's 71 spectra...a case where automation is not an option, where the 'free' software that came with your spectrophotometer is very expensive indeed.

A FilmStar MEASURE user knows that Excel is the best place to store 71 spectra. A no-brainer for sure! If you need a way to work smarter not harder, this is it! Contact us today for an online demonstration.
