How do I display the Raman Spectra?

New to MATlab. I have 2 .mat files from my teaching assistant. They are supposedly raman spectra and wavenumber. How do i display them to visualize the spectrum?

I suppose wavenumber is the x-axis and the ref_raw is the y-axis for intensity?

How do i plot such scenario?

hello, sry im not sure about your question,are you trying to use plot(x,y)?, on x axis the wave number, and the y axis the intensity.

The rows are probably the depths, and the z value is the signal. So you could do

val = squeeze(val); % Get rid of middle dimension
for depth = 1 : size(val, 2)
    thisSpectrum = val(depth, :); % Get spectrum for this depth
    plot(wavenumber, thisSpectrum, '-', 'LineWidth', 2);
    hold on;
end
grid on;
xlabel('Wavenumber', 'FontSize', 20);
ylabel('Intensity', 'FontSize', 20);
title('Raman Spectra at Different Depths', 'FontSize', 20);

Did you try load() and then plot()? Or ask your TA?
