Essential Macleod 10 Free Download

Essential Macleod 10 Free Download Overview

It is possible to design, analyze, make, and fix problems with thin film optical coatings using the Essential Macleod 10 software package. Not only does it work with Microsoft Windows 10, but also with Microsoft Windows 11 64-bit. The program really does have an interface for multiple documents. It can work with coatings ranging from rugates to ultrafast, from single-layer antireflection coatings to demanding color separation beam splitters. It gives you everything you need to design, analyze, plan production, and even figure out why a production attempt failed. Essential Macleod 10 comes with a lot of performance parameters, such as simple ones like transmittance and reflectance and more complex ones like color coordinates in different color spaces.

It can make designs from scratch or improve ones that already exist. It can also look for mistakes and get optical constants from film materials to use in designs. Essential Macleod 10 has a Core, which is its most basic configuration. There are a number of optional Enhancements that can be added to the Core to make it more useful in different ways. The package is a single unit that comes with a progressive licensing system that manages how the different upgrades are activated. This means that the user can change the configuration and price to suit their needs. The licensing system is built into the computer as software.

Features of Essential Macleod 10 Free Download

After installing Essential Macleod 10, you can enjoy the following great features. Please keep in mind that these features may be different for you depending on your system.

Core

The Core has all the usual tools for design and analysis. It looks at single coatings with as many layers as needed, as well as any number of these coatings on any number of surfaces in an assembly, as long as the surfaces are mostly parallel. The Core does calculations on all of these things: reflectance, transmittance, phase shifts, ellipsometric parameters, dispersive parameters like Group Delay Dispersion, and derivatives in terms of wavelength up to the third order when they are useful. If you know the wavelength, frequency, angle of incidence, polarization, and thickness of a layer, you can figure out all of these things. All common color spaces are included in the color parameters that can be calculated. There are two synthesis tools and five refinement tools.

Runsheet Enhancement

A machine configuration editor and a run sheet generator makeup Runsheet, which is a tool for planning coating production. A machine configuration keeps information about a coating machine, its sources and how they work with tools, as well as its monitoring systems. The run sheet generator lets the user plan how to keep an eye on a coating design for a certain type of machine. The monitoring includes both optical and crystal monitoring, as well as more advanced features like gain and offset, dynamic tooling factors, and wideband monitoring.

Monitoring

Monitoring gives you extra software that you can use to set up Runsheet so that the output it sends to a deposition controller matches what it sees.

Simulator Enhancement

Monte Carlo models the deposition process in the simulator. Using a control plan made by Runsheet, the Simulator adds random and planned effects like noise on the signal, changes in the tooling factor, errors in packing density, temperature effects, and more. It then displays how these parameters affect the final simulated production coatings. Not only does this prove the control plan, but it also lets you translate many other coating system parameters into model parameters and check how they affect things.

vStack Enhancement

vStack is a program that helps you get the most out of a system of coatings that are not parallel to meet certain overall requirements. These requirements may require taking different paths through the system. It is common for candidate systems to have two beam splitters and three channels for color separation. The only thing that is needed is for the surface normals to be flat. It is possible to figure out ellipsometric parameters, polarization leakage, and cumulative dispersive effects like group delay dispersion.

Function Enhancement

Function adds to what the Essential Macleod can do. The results in tables can be changed in almost any way you can think of using a simple macro language that comes with an editor and a syntax checker. As opposed to a spreadsheet, it does a lot more because it automatically interpolates results between different intervals of independent variables. You can save macros and use them again and again. The function also gives you a BASIC scripting language that lets you access things like designs as objects. Scripts can be used without much trouble because calls to them can be built into regular menus. Function comes with a lot of different scripts. Some of them are three-dimensional systems, performance statistics, long tables, composite materials, and a lot more.

DWDM Assistant Enhancement

DWDM Assistant makes a set of multiple-cavity filters automatically that meet standard telecommunication requirements. Sorting filter designs by things like total thickness and estimated deposition time is possible.
