Glass Catalog History

Glass Catalog History

This page includes update history for both CODE V and LightTools. LightTools history was added to this page beginning with the 2023.03 FCS release. Contact LightTools Support for previous LightTools glass history.

Updated files are available at Glass Catalog Updates for CODE V and LightTools.

Note 1: The current glass catalog files and macro data files are compatible only with CODE V version 11.5 FCS or later. The current glass catalog files are compatible only with LightTools 2022.03 or later.

Note 2:

CODE V and LightTools glass catalog files are derived from manufacturer-supplied data files. On 12/12/2022, CDGM issued a new data file, named CDGM202206.xlsx. In that file, 37 existing glasses were updated to provide dispersion coefficients for newer manufactured glasses. This means that there are two sets of dispersion coefficients for each of the 37 glasses. The appropriate set of dispersion coefficients depends on the date of manufacture. CODE V and LightTools releases from 2023.03 FCS to 2024.03 SR1 use the dispersion coefficients for CDGM glasses issued before CDGM202206.xlsx. Starting with CODE V 2025.03 and LightTools 2025.03, the set of dispersion coefficients in the September 2024 CDGM publication are used. Optical engineers should consult with CDGM to make sure that their glass name and dispersion coefficients accurately represent the intended glass.

Note 3:

CODE V 2026 Update 0.1 has updated how glass data are handled:

  • Transmission data is now listed in descending wavelength order for all vendors in detailed material listings (under Tools > Optical Material Catalogs > Detailed Material Listing or using the GPR command in the GLD option).
  • Transmission data for all thicknesses provided by each vendor are now stored.
  • If the smallest thickness for transmission data is something other than 5 or 10 mm, CODE V will now appropriately locate and use the 5- or 10-mm data rather than scaling the data for the smallest thickness only.

Note 4:

In the 07/2026 glass catalog files, Keysight has improved unit consistency across glass data by updating Young’s modulus for CDGM, OHARA, and SUMITA active glasses to GPa, matching other vendors. Rigidity units for OHARA and SUMITA active glasses are now also reported in GPa.

CODE V 2026 Update 0.1 installs the 07/2026 glass catalog files. Users of older versions of CODE V can download the latest glass catalog files.

LightTools 2026 Update 1 installs the 03/2026 glass catalog files. Users of older versions of LightTools can download the latest glass catalog files.

SCHOTT:

  • Updated per 11/2025 catalog
