The "HOC" takes the highly praised 5 Volume set, Handbook of Optical Constants, to a new level of "Information Mining" with seamless integration of dynamic data tables, 2D and 3D displays, property calculations, and technical information. The program is designed for material scientists, spectroscopists, and optical device designers working with dielectric materials, including metals, semi-conductors, and insulators.
HOC Features
Database Pathways
"Materials" leads directly to all optical data and information on a selected material (e.g., CdS). "Periodic Table", click on one or more elements and find all materials and associated optical data containing these elements. "Thermo-optical Coefficients" goes directly to Sellmeier coefficients of materials. "Optical Parameters" brings materials for which optical parameters are available. Pathways utilize more than 2,000 tables of compiled optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficients, and Sellmeier coefficients) for 143 key materials.
Data Representation Tools
Convenient tools to select & view data fields, references, sort and colorize specific data, and compile data into one table from different sources using the HOC table Wizard.
Extensive Graphics
Ability to compare, view, and analyze data from different sources in 2D and 3D graphs. Full zoom, axis tracking of values in 2D plots, tailor data curves, and fast manipulation of 3D graphs.
Calculation Pathways
Point and click to compute transmittance, polarizability, or refractive index and extend the range of experimental values or interpolate between experimental data points with use of well know algorithms and sophisticated interpolation techniques.
Information Pathways
Seamless presentation of technical information on materials is a hallmark of the HOC; be it experimental techniques, basic dielectric theory, or critiques on materials. It's there when you want it.
Export Results
Output important data to common spreadsheets, ASCII file, or to the clipboard.
