Essential Macleod v8.18 key

The Essential Macleod is a comprehensive software package for the design and analysis of optical thin films. It runs under any 32 bit Microsoft Windows operating system and has a true multiple document interface. It provides all you need for optical coating design and evaluation including WDM and DWDM filters, handling a wide range of performance parameters from ultrafast to color. It can synthesize designs from scratch or refine existing ones, investigate errors and extract optical constants of film materials for use in designs
