Proposal: material library update

Open wave46 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Dear Raysect team.

As I can see from the data stored for metals refractive index and extinction coefficients, their wavelength range is from 200 nm to 12.4 mkm. However for tokamak VUV diagnostics I'd like to have optical properties of the metals to be resolved for lower wavelengths. Also, I noticed that, for example, here one of the databases goes down to 1.8 nm. I tried to compare data from different sources mentioned there and it seemed to me that they are quite different. Also, they cover different wavelength ranges.

So, I think, this different sources should be somehow merged and put into the Raysect default library. Or, at least, this different sources can be stored and users can choose the one that covers the wavelength range they want.

Thanks, Ivan Kudashev
