Description


This feature plots coating transmittance/reflectance/phase versus angle of incidence or wavelength.  The plot can be for p-polarization, s-polarization, or their average (and combinations therein).

 

 

Navigation


Right mouse click on a coating node in the object tree view and select "Plot" from the list menu.
