Searching the MaterialBank

This example shows how to locate materials using patterns with search() and then load a material for analysis.

Matches:
- fused_silica
- silver
- silicon

Refractive index at 1 µm:
1.450417409406875

from PyOptik import MaterialBank
from PyOptik.units import micrometer

# Find materials containing the substring 'si'
materials = MaterialBank.search("si")
print("Matches:")
for name in materials:
    print("-", name)

# Use the first match
material = MaterialBank.get(materials[0])
print("\nRefractive index at 1 µm:")
print(material.compute_refractive_index(1 * micrometer))
