Wavelength dependence of the refraction coefficient #1226

Dear All, Is it possible to define a dependency of the refraction coefficient in Mitsuba, on the wave length? I assume I'd have to use the "dielectric" material. Thank you! |

I guess you're referring to dispersion. This is theoretically possible and pretty easy to implement. However, we have not done it in Mitsuba 3 and there is no plan to do so currently. |

@njroussel Thank you! So there is no hope of modeling let's say a prism that produces a rainbow out of a beam of white light? |
