finesse.knm¶
Library of coupling coefficient data structures and calculations.
Much of the code in this sub-package exists in a Cythonised form which should only be used internally for calculating modal scattering during simulations.
For the user, the tools sub-module provides Python facing functions
for calculating certain types of coupling coefficients, and scattering
matrices of these, directly. The bayerhelms module also contains
Python exposed functions for calculating Bayer-Helms [24]
coefficients directly.
A data structure, KnmMatrix, representing a scattering matrix is
documented in matrix. Objects of this type are returned whenever using
functions in this library which compute coupling coefficient matrices.
See Computing arbitrary scattering matrices for details and examples on using some of the Python-facing tools in this library.
Note that these tools use the same internal C code as that which gets executed during simulations, and so will be very efficient off-the-shelf.
