Advanced analysis for optimal configurations
Thanks to its multi-objective optimization algorithm, Optima analyzes, simulates, and adjusts the coating stack based on defined optical and technical constraints. It considers refractive indices, porosity, available materials, and application conditions to determine the ideal configuration — all before moving into production.
By modeling each layer at the nanometer scale, Optima eliminates costly trial-and-error cycles and accelerates coating validation, ensuring optimal performance right from the design phase.
Cost reduction and process optimization
Optima replaces time-consuming and expensive physical trials by accurately simulating the impact of every parameter on coating performance. By reducing the number of experimental iterations, it speeds up development and improves result reproducibility.
The software also minimizes material waste and streamlines the production process, delivering both economic and technical optimization.
A strategic tool for industry and research
Developed to meet the needs of scientific and industrial sectors, Optima is a must-have tool for those seeking full control over optical coatings. It delivers unparalleled precision, ensuring uniform surfaces that are perfectly adapted to the requirements of each application.
