- class IdealMaterial(n: float, k: float = 0, propagation_model: BasePropagationModel | None = None)[source]
Represents an ideal material with a fixed refractive index and extinction coefficient for all wavelengths.
- index
The refractive index of the material.
- Type:
float
- absorp
The extinction coefficient of the material.
- Type:
float
- abbe() float
Calculate the Abbe number (Vd) of the material.
The Abbe number is a measure of the material’s dispersion, defined as Vd = (n_d - 1) / (n_F - n_C), where n_d, n_F, and n_C are the refractive indices at the Fraunhofer d (587.5618 nm), F (486.1327 nm), and C (656.2725 nm) spectral lines, respectively.
- Returns:
The Abbe number of the material.
- Return type:
float
- classmethod from_dict(data)[source]
Creates a material from a dictionary representation.
- Parameters:
data (dict) – The dictionary representation of the material.
- Returns:
The material.
- Return type:
- k(wavelength: float | be.ndarray, **kwargs) float | be.ndarray
Calculates the extinction coefficient at a given wavelength with caching.
- Parameters:
wavelength (float | be.ndarray) – The wavelength(s) of light in microns. Can be a float, numpy array, or torch tensor.
**kwargs – Additional keyword arguments for calculation.
- Returns:
The extinction coefficient at the given wavelength(s).
- Return type:
float | be.ndarray
- n(wavelength: float | be.ndarray, **kwargs) float | be.ndarray
Calculates the refractive index at a given wavelength with caching.
- Parameters:
wavelength (float | be.ndarray) – The wavelength(s) of light in microns. Can be a float, numpy array, or torch tensor.
**kwargs – Additional keyword arguments for calculation (e.g., temperature).
- Returns:
The refractive index at the given wavelength(s).
- Return type:
float | be.ndarray
