finesse.tracing.ctracer

The data structures, and related algorithms, which form the basis of the beam tracing library.

Details on each class, method and function in this sub-module are provided mostly for developers. Users should refer to Tracing the beam for details on beam tracing, Model.beam_trace() for the main method through which beam traces can be performed on a model and tracing.tools for the various beam propagation tools which the beam tracing library provides.

Classes

TraceForest(model)	A container structure which stores multiple TraceTree instances.
TraceTree(node, dependency)	A binary tree data structure representing all the beam tracing paths from some root optical node of a model.

Functions

get_last_left_branch(TraceTree tree)
is_abcd_changing(object[, )
update_rt_abcd(TraceTree tree, double[, , ...)
update_single_rt_abcd(TraceTree tree, ...)
