Create new Material with constant refractive index

Hello,

I am currently trying to implement 3D-Printed optical lenses (plastic) into my system in sequential mode.

However, I am experiencing issues when it comes to insert a new material. I know that to really implement a new material the wavelength dependend dispersion formula is needed. However, I only have a constant refractive index given.

Could someone tell me if there is the possibility to implement a material without any thermal or wavelength dependencies?

 

Thank you very much in advance!

For the material of the surface choose Model by selecting from the drop down in the material column. You can then enter the index and Abbe number. With an Abbe of zero, the index is unaffected by wavelength.
