MaterialMetallicCurve

class ansys.speos.core.input_files.material.MaterialMetallicCurve(wavelengths=_DEFAULT_WAVELENGTHS, indices=_DEFAULT_METALLIC_INDICES, extinctions=_DEFAULT_METALLIC_EXTINCTIONS)

Bases: ansys.speos.core.input_files._base._ValueComparable

Dispersion of a metal given by its complex refractive index.

Parameters:

wavelengthsSequence[float], optional

Wavelengths of the curve, in nm. By default, [486.0, 532.0, 643.0].

indicesSequence[float], optional

Real part n of the refractive index at each wavelength. By default, [1.0, 1.0, 1.0].

extinctionsSequence[float], optional

Extinction coefficient k at each wavelength. By default, [0.0, 0.0, 0.0].

Parameters:

• wavelengths (Sequence[float])

• indices (Sequence[float])

• extinctions (Sequence[float])

Notes

The default refractive index and extinction values are placeholders, not the optical constants of a real metal.
