    Variable CauchyMaterialsConst

    CauchyMaterials: {
        CROWN_GLASS: CauchyCoefficients;
        FLINT_GLASS: CauchyCoefficients;
        FLUORITE: CauchyCoefficients;
    } = ...

    Approximate Cauchy coefficients for common optical materials -- good enough for real-looking visual dispersion (correct color ordering, plausible spread), not spectroscopy-grade precision. b is in micrometres^2, matching Optics.cauchyIndex()'s convention.

    Type Declaration

    • ReadonlyCROWN_GLASS: CauchyCoefficients

      BK7-like crown glass: noticeably lower dispersion than flint, ~1.51-1.53 across the visible range.

    • ReadonlyFLINT_GLASS: CauchyCoefficients

      Dense flint glass: high dispersion, ~1.63 (red) to ~1.69 (violet) across the visible range.

    • ReadonlyFLUORITE: CauchyCoefficients

      Fluorite (CaF2): very low dispersion, ~1.43-1.45 across the visible range -- used in real apochromatic camera lenses specifically to minimize chromatic aberration.
