In non-sequential mode, I am trying to automate the process of reviewing any input data that is spectral. The idea is to review how all models (in the wide sense) behave wrt wavelength in a quick way to make sure there’s nothing shady happening, using the ZOS API.
For now I’m trying to review :
- all coatings used, and their spectral response wrt incidence angle and wavelength
- all materials used and their refractive index and extinction response wrt wavelength
because given the complexity of a NSC model, the complexity of coatings definitions/catalogs, material definition/catalogs, a mistake can happen quickly.
For now the idea is to review those spectral model dependencies only in a “passive” manner, using the NCE - without running a raytrace specifiicaly.
If anyone has ideas or guideline on this process, feel free to comment ! :)
