Glass Manager Features

Zoomable plots showing all glasses or user defined selection

• n-V diagram (n, 1/n, V, 1/V or dn – axis definition options)
• P-V diagrams (relative partial dispersions)
• n-density diagram

Spreadsheet showing properties of all selected glasses

Zoomable graphs showing properties of individual glasses

• refractive index v wavelength – dispersion graph
• refractive index (1st derivative) v wavelength
• refractive index (2nd derivative) v wavelength
• internal transmission v wavelength (user selected block width)
• total transmission v wavelength (user selected block width)

Tables of glass data for individual glasses

• refractive indices
• dispersion constants
• relative partial dispersions
• transmission coefficients
• chemical constants
• mechanical constants
• thermal constants

Custom colouring scheme for the plots

• by type
• by manufacturer
• by property (user can select property, colour range etc.)

Use standard wavelengths or user defined wavebands
selected from large set of predefined high accuracy values for spectral/laser sources or make free choice

Powerful & flexible search & sort facilities

Comparison table for two user selected glasses, e.g. an old glass and its ECO equivalent

Doublet-maker: determination of suitable glass pairs, e. g. for achromats, simulation of pseudo glasses

Melt analysis tool: predicts melt indices over waveband given catalog data and melt data at two wavelengths

Data sheet printout of one or more glasses

Custom plot

• user defined axes (select from wide range of properties)
• high resolution, custom printout – uses full printer size
