Simulating a multilayer mirror in OpticStudio

Hello,

I am trying to simulate a  mirror in non-sequential mode that has a wavelength- and an angle dependent reflectance as shown in the attached files.

I have already tried to do this by defining a surface coating with the refractive indices of the two different elements but this has not worked out well.

I would be thankful to know if this is possible in OpticStudio

A Table Coating can be used to define an arbitrary coating with properties that depend on both wavelength and angle. 

Edit: You can find a discussion of Table Coatings in this article: How to model a dichroic beam splitter.
