Material index in universal plot

Good day!

I am modelling a system in non sequential mode, that works with different media (basically, a refractometer). I was wondering, if you could make a universal plot, where some variable ( like the power on the detector) depends on the refraction index of the material of one of the objects.

Hi Alexandra,

That sounds like something which would be more suitable for the ZOS-API because the power on the detector requires a whole ray trace.

I'm thinking about something like:

  1. Setup your material
  2. Run a ray trace
  3. Report the power
  4. Change the material
  5. Goto 2. until last material
  6. Plot power as function of material

I think there are some good resources on the portal for the ZOS-API.

Does that make sense?

Cheers
