TFStudio is a desktop application for design, analysis and optimization of multilayer optical coatings — anti-reflection stacks, bandpass filters, mirrors.
It's free and open source (MIT license). Get the code, build it yourself, or help out — contributions are welcome.
Runs entirely in your browser — explore example designs and live spectra, no install.
Main window — Design Editor + Optical Evaluation, docked
One app for the whole job, from first idea to the deposition chamber.
Lay out a coating layer by layer, pick from a large material library, and set what you want it to do.
Let it tune the layers — or grow a whole design from scratch — to hit your goals.
Check performance and tolerance.
Simulate the real deposition and export files for your chamber's monitoring software.
