Elevator Pitch
Would you rather look up (or calculate) the Jones matrix for an optical retarder oriented at an arbitrary angle with an arbitrary phase delay, or would you rather just type this:
[[elements]]
element_type = "retarder"
phase = 1.57 # pi/2
phase_units = "radians"
angle = 45.0
angle_units = "degrees"
About
Here's how it works:
- You specify a beam and some optical elements in a TOML file.
- The command line utility reads the file and performs the simulation.
- The results of the simulation are printed to the terminal.
For example, to specify a linearly polarized beam oriented at 0 degrees (i.e. horizontally) that passes through a polarizer oriented at 45 degrees, your file would look like this:
# simulation.toml
[beam]
polarization = "linear"
angle = 0.0
angle_units = "degrees"
[[elements]]
element_type = "polarizer"
angle = 45.0
angle_units = "degrees"
You would use polsim
to read the file and do the simulation like this:
$ polsim simulation.toml
intensity: 5.00000e-1
x_mag: 5.00000e-1
x_phase: 0.00000e0
y_mag: 5.00000e-1
y_phase: 0.00000e0
If you want to impress your friends and family, you can print the results in a table via the -p/--pretty
flag:
$ polsim -p simulation.toml
+------------+------------+-----------+------------+-----------+
| intensity | x_mag | x_phase | y_mag | y_phase |
+------------+------------+-----------+------------+-----------+
| 5.00000e-1 | 5.00000e-1 | 0.00000e0 | 5.00000e-1 | 0.00000e0 |
