The Sopra S.A. company in France made its optical database
available. All the data files, except Sopra's special alloy format, were converted to the TFCalc
format by Software Spectra. This data is offered at no cost.
The only drawback to the Sopra data is that, for most of the materials, there is
no indication of the origin of the sample which was measured. Ideally you would
want to know how the sample was prepared and measured.
To download the TFCalc-format files, choose either
Macintosh (1024K) or
Windows (728K).
In either case, the file is a self-extracting application -- you run it and it will ask you
where the files should be stored. A "Read Me" file describes all the material files.
With a 28.8K modem, the file should take about 5 minutes to download.
The data can be grouped into 13 categories:
