    Syntax

    oc = pickCoating(coatingName)

    Description

    Add-On Required: This feature requires the Optical Design and Simulation Library for Image Processing Toolbox add-on.

    oc = pickCoating(coatingName) picks a coating with a case-insensitive matching name from the coating library. If the library contains more than one match, the function returns the first match. The order of the coatings in the CoatingCatalogTable property of the coating library controls the selected coating priority.

    This example uses:

    Open Live Script

    Load the default optical coating library.

    cl = coatingLibrary
    cl = 
  CoatingLibrary with properties:

    CoatingCatalogTable: [1×3 table]
               Coatings: [2×1 opticalCoating]

    Load and inspect the first default coating from the coating library, a Bragg reflector coating.

    oc = pickCoating("Bragg_587nm_12l")
    oc = 
  opticalCoating with properties:

                  Name: "Bragg_587nm_12l"
    IncidentAngleRange: [0 15]
       WavelengthRange: [300 800]
     PrimaryWavelength: 587.6000
                Medium: [1×1 opticalMaterial]
             Substrate: [1×1 opticalMaterial]
      CoatingMaterials: [2×1 opticalMaterial]
    LayerMaterialIndex: [1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2]
        LayerThickness: [1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
         ThicknessUnit: "quarterWavelength"
             NumLayers: 12
