Overlay plots of different angles of incidence.

5 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to plot the reflectivity of a grating over a range of frequencies and repeat this plot when changing the angle of incidence. My current code does plot the reflectivity at different angles but does so in seperate figures.
The end goal is something similar to the image. But using 3 axes rather than 2.
clear all
c = 600;
l = 300;
u = 800;
for a = 0:10:40
p = 1000;
s = (u-l)/p;
Frequency = zeros(1,p);
Reflectivity = zeros(1,p);
x = 1;
for range = l:s:u
y = (2*pi/range)*(c/4);
A = [1,1;1,-1];
B = [1,1;2,-2];
C = [1,1;4,-4];
P = [exp(-j*y*cosd(a)),0;0,exp(j*y*cosd(a))];
G = P*(B\C)*P*(C\B);
M = (A\B)*(G^3)*P*(G^3)*P*(B\A);
E1 = M(2,1)/M(1,1);
E2 = (abs(E1)^2);
Reflectivity(x) = E2;
Frequency(x) = range;
x = x+1;
end
figure;
grid on
[Fr,In] = meshgrid(Frequency,a);
plot3(Fr,In,Reflectivity')
xlabel('Frequency')
ylabel('Angle of Incidence')
zlabel('Reflectivity')
end

hello
a very simple modification of your code
create one figure and use hold on to overlay the next plots
% YOUR INIT SECTION HERE
figure(1);
grid on
hold on
xlabel('Frequency')
ylabel('Angle of Incidence')
zlabel('Reflectivity')
for Incident = 0:10:30 %ANGLE OF INCIDENCE
% YOUR MAIN CODE AS BEFORE HERE
%
%
%CHARTS
end
[Fr,In] = meshgrid(Frequency,Incident);
plot3(Fr,In,Reflectivity')
end

Remove the word figure and add hold on after the plot
grid on
[Fr,In] = meshgrid(Frequency,Incident);
plot3(Fr,In,Reflectivity')
xlabel('Frequency')
ylabel('Angle of Incidence')
zlabel('Reflectivity')
hold on
