The same powerful AstraLayer mathematics trusted by leading coating manufacturers worldwide — Needle Optimization, Gradual Evolution, Refinement, and more — now accessible from any computer for just $100/month.
No installation, no Windows dependency. Design coatings from Windows, macOS, or Linux — all you need is a browser.
Heavy optimization runs on our high-performance servers. Your laptop stays cool while AstraLayer crunches thousands of design variants.
The same algorithms used by leading optical coating manufacturers: Needle Optimization, Gradual Evolution, Constrained Optimization, and more.
Start designing state-of-the-art coatings for just $100/month — a fraction of the cost of a traditional desktop license.
Automatic updates with the latest algorithms and features. No manual upgrades, no version conflicts — always the newest release.
Your designs are encrypted and stored securely. Only you can access your projects. Enterprise-grade data protection.
Automatically inserts ultra-thin layers at optimal positions in the coating stack to dramatically improve performance — the signature AstraLayer algorithm.
Builds the design layer by layer from scratch, evolving toward the optimal solution without requiring an initial design — ideal for complex targets.
Fine-tunes layer thicknesses of an existing design to minimize the merit function. Fast, reliable, and essential for every design workflow.
Optimize with real-world constraints: minimum/maximum layer thicknesses, total coating thickness limits, and manufacturing feasibility requirements.
AstraLayer handles the full range of thin-film design problems — from simple anti-reflective coatings to complex multi-cavity filters and laser optics.
Transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, phase, GD/GDD, color coordinates, electric field distribution — all in spectral and angular modes.
Monte Carlo simulations, sensitivity analysis, yield estimation — evaluate your design's robustness before production.
The standing-wave field |E|² through the coating at any wavelength, angle and polarization, layer by layer. Field targets keep the peaks out of the weaker material — for high-power laser mirrors and polarizers.
Several substrates and air gaps with a coating on any face, computed as one stack: a window with AR on both sides, an air-spaced pair, a plate beam splitter. All coatings are synthesized together.
Extensive catalog of thin-film materials, substrates, and dispersion data. Import your own n,k data in multiple formats.
Export designs, spectral data, and comprehensive evaluation reports. Compatible with major deposition controllers.
Volume licenses, on-premise deployment, and academic pricing available. Contact us for a custom quote.
