Questions on what multilayer coating calculations OSLO can perform

Solution

"
  1. Yes. Choose "Evaluate>>Polarization>>Reflectance/Transmittance" from the OSLO menu.
  2. Yes. However, each multilayer stack is analyzed as a unit. So if you want to calculate the behavior of just the outer layers of a coating, you must separate the multilayer stack of interest with a glass substrate.
