gtrace Package

This package provides necessary classes and functions for tracing the propagation of Gaussian beams among mirrors and lenses.

beam Module

gtrace.beam

A module to define GaussianBeam class.

class gtrace.beam.GaussianBeam(q0=2.952624674426497j, q0x=False, q0y=False, pos=[0.0, 0.0], length=1.0, dirAngle=0.0, dirVect=None, wl=1.064e-06, P=1.0, n=1.0, name='Beam', layer='main_beam')[source]

Bases: traits.has_traits.HasTraits

This is a class to represent a Gaussian beam. A GaussianBeam object has its origin (pos) and a propagation direction (dirVect or dirAngle). A GaussianBeam is characterized by q-parameter(s) at its origin. The beam can be either circular or elliptic. In order to deal with elliptic beams, some parameters are stored in pairs like (q0x, q0y). x and y denote the axes of the cross section of the beam. x-axis is parallel to the paper and the y-axis is perpendicular to the paper.

A beam object can be propagated through a free space or made to interact with an optics.

As a beam propagate through optical system, optical distance and Gouy phase are accumerated.

=== Attributes ===

q: q-parameter of the beam. If the beam is eliptic, q is the q-parameter
of the best matching circular mode.

qx: q-parameter of the beam in the x-direction. [complex float]

qy: q-parameter of the beam in the y-direction. [complex float]

pos: Position of the beam origin. [(2,) float array]

dirVect: Propagation direction vector. [(2,) float array]

dirAngle: Propagation direction angle measured from the positive x-axis. [float]

length: Length of the beam (used for DXF export) [float]

layer: Layer name of the beam when exported to a DXF file.

name: Name of the beam

wl: Wavelength in vacuum. Not the wavelength in the medium. [float]

n: Index of refraction of the medium the beam is passing through. [float]

P: Power [float]

wx: Beamwidth in x-direction [float]

wy: Beamwidth in y-direction [float]

optDist: Accumulated optical distance.

Gouyx: Accumulated Gouy phase in x-direction.

Gouyy: Accumulated Gouy phase in y-direction.

Mx: ABCD matrix in x-direction.
This is a 2x2 matrix representing the product of ABCD transformations applied to this beam. It defaults to an identity matrix. Whenever a beam experience an ABCD matrix transformation, such as propagation in the space or reflection by a curved mirror, the applied ABCD matrix is multiplied to this matrix, so that we can keep track of what kind of transformations were made during beam propagation.

My: ABCD matrix in y-direction. The meaning is the same as Mx.

departSurfAngle: The angle formed by x-axis and the normal vector of
the surface from which the beam is departing. Default is None. Used by the drawing routine.
departSurfInvROC: Inverse of the ROC of the surface from which the beam is departing.
The ROC is positive for a concave surface seen from the beam side. Default is None. Used by the drawing routine.
incSurfAngle: The angle formed by the x-arm and the normal vector of
the surface to which the beam is incident. Default is None. Used by the drawing routine.
incSurfInvROC: Inverse of the ROC of the surface to which the beam is incident.
The ROC is positive for a concave surface seen from the beam side. Default is None. Used by the drawing routine.
stray_order: An integer indicating if this beam is a stray light or not.
The default value is 0. Every time a beam is reflected by an AR surface or transmits an HR surface, this couter is increased by 1.
ABCDTrans(ABCDx, ABCDy=None)[source]

Apply ABCD transformation to the beam.

ABCDx: ABCD matrix for x-direction

ABCDy: ABCD matrix for y-direction

Draw the beam into a DXF object.

sigma: The width of the beam drawn is sigma * (1/e^2 radius of the beam).
The default is sigma = 3. sigma = 2.7 gives 1ppm diffraction loss. [float]
mode: ‘avg’, ‘x’, or ‘y’. A beam can have different widths for x- and y-
directions. If ‘avg’ is specified, the average of them are drawn. ‘x’ and ‘y’ specifies to show the width of the respective directions.

If optional argument flipDirVect is set to False, the propagation direction of the beam is not changed.

propagate(d)[source]

Propagate the beam by a distance d from the current position. self.n is used as the index of refraction. During this process, the optical distance traveled is added to self.optDist. self.Goux and self.Gouyy are also updated to record the Gouy phase change.

Rotate the beam around ‘center’. If center is not given, the beam is rotated around self.pos.

Arguments

angle: Rotation angle in radians.

center: Center for rotation. [(2,) array of float]

Bases: gtrace.optcomp.Optics

Representing a partial reflective mirror.

=== Attributes ===

HRcenter: The position of the center of the arc of the HR surface.
[(2,) float array]
HRcenterC: The position of the center of the chord of the HR surface.
[(2,) float array]

normVectHR: Normal vector of the HR surface.

normVectAR: Normal vector of the HR surface.

normAngleAR: Angle of the HR normal vector.

HRtransmissive: A boolean value defaults to False. If True, this mirror
is supposed to transmit beams on the HR surface. Therefore, for the first encounter of a beam on the HR surface of this mirror will not increase the stray_order. This flag should be set to True for beam splitters and input test masses.
term_on_HR: If this is True, a beam with stray_order=0 will be terminated when
it hits on HR. This is to avoid the inifinite loop of non-sequencial trace by forming a cavity.

hit(beam, order=0, threshold=0.0, face=False)[source]

A function to hit the optics with a beam.

This function attempts to hit the optics with the source beam, beam.

Input parameters:

beam: A GaussianBeam object to be interacted by the optics.

order: An integer to specify how many times the internal reflections are computed.

threshold The power threshold for internal reflection calculation. If the power of an auxiliary beam falls below this threshold, further propagation of this beam will not be performed.

Return values (isHit, beamDict, face)

isHit This is a boolean to answer whether the beam hit the optics or not.

beamDict A dictionary containing resultant beams.

face:
An optional string identifying which face of the optics was hit. For a mirror, face is any of “HR”, “AR” or “side”.
hitFromAR(beam, order=0, threshold=0.0, verbose=False)[source]

Compute the reflected and deflected beams when an input beam hit the AR surface.

The internal reflections are computed as long as the number of internal reflections are below the order and the power of the reflected beams is over the threshold.

hitFromHR(beam, order=0, threshold=0.0, verbose=False)[source]

Compute the reflected and deflected beams when an input beam hit the HR surface.

The internal reflections are computed as long as the number of internal reflections are below the order and the power of the reflected beams is over the threshold.

A function to see if a beam hits this optics or not.

Input parameters

beam: A GaussianBeam object to be interacted by the optics.

Returned value

The return value is a dictionary with the following keys: isHit, position, distance, face

isHit: This is a boolean to answer whether the beam hit the optics or not.

position: A numpy array containing the coordinate values of the intersection point between the beam and the optics. If isHit is False, this parameter does not mean anything.

face: An optional string identifying which face of the optics was hit. For example, face can be either “HR” or “AR” for a mirror. face can also be “side”, meaning that the beam hits a side of the optics, which is not meant to be used, e.g. the side of a mirror. In this case, the beam have reached a dead end.
