OptiReOpt is
a new member of OptiLayer software family. OptiReOpt
is specifically elaborated for a real-time support of manufacture of multilayer
optical coatings in deposition plants with on-line spectral photometric monitoring.
OptiReOpt can be used for monitoring depositions of coating layers. It
can
be also used for the on-line compensation of manufacturing errors.
These purposes are achieved by the access to powerful OptiLayer
mathematical routines from virtually any external software.
OptiReOpt is essentially different from other programs of OptiLayer
software family (OptiLayer, OptiChar, OptiRE). It does
not have standard OptiLayer interface. OptiReOpt is arranged as
a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) and therefore is able to be embedded into any environment
supporting DLL calls. Among these environments are:
- Microsoft Visual Studio version 6.0 (C++, Visual Basic)
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (C++)
- Borland C++ Builder (any version)
- Borland Delphi (version 2.0 and higher)
- LabVIEW version 5.X and 6.X
OptiReOpt can be used by any customer's control software supporting
DLL calls at practically all deposition plants with any type of on-line spectral
photometric devices. Special attention was paid to providing convenient OptiReOpt
application in the LabVIEW environment, because this software tool is often used
for the implementation of deposition control software.
OptiReOpt DLL functions provide access to unique OptiLayer
mathematical routines and due to this fact OptiReOpt has outstanding
computational efficiency. Even in
the case of coatings with dozens of layers computations are so fast that
reliable determination of parameters of deposited layers and reoptimization
of parameters of
remaining layers does not require interrupting the deposition process. It is
recommended to use a system running under Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3
(or higher) or Windows XP with Service Pack 1
(or higher). Windows 98 and Windows ME are much less stable and are
not recommended as OS for a computer controlling deposition process.
