I generally make a .ztg table file but this is not possible with all the products.
Anyone have any insights?

 

Thanks!

Hi Howard!

The catalogs that are included in OpticStudio are provided by the material vendors. We can contact new vendors.

What kind of information do you have that needs to be entered in the software?
The simplest model we have is the model index:

Norland provides the equation for NOA 61, at the bottom of this page:

You can convert the Cauchy formula to Schott formula with a little bit of maths (first converting to um from nm, then squaring the formula to obtain n^2).

This gives an Abbe number around 42, perhaps you can also use that for the model glass for other Norland adhesives.
