Examples¶
Main examples¶
beampy.examples code.
List of examples from the beampy.examples module.
-
beampy.examples.benchmark_kerr()¶ Kerr benchmark by looking at the critical power at which a beam become a soliton. Several test were done with this function and for now, it seems that the critical power find by the simulations is about 85% of the theorical value. Meaning a 15% error. Further tests are needed to understand the observed differences.
-
beampy.examples.free_propag(dist_x=0.1, length_x=1000, length_z=10000, no=1, lo=1)¶ Show the free propagation of a beam and compare Beampy results with the theorical values.
- Parameters
dist_x (float) – Step over x (µm).
length_x (float) – Size of the compute window over x (µm).
length_z (float) – Size of the compute window over z (µm).
no (float) – Refractive index of the cladding
lo (float) – Wavelength of the beam in vaccum (µm).
-
beampy.examples.gaussian_beam(fwhm=10)¶ Display a Gaussian beam at the given fwhm.
- Parameters
fwhm (float) – Full width at half maximum (for intensity not amplitude) (µm).
-
beampy.examples.guides_x()¶ Display a Gaussian guide, two super-Gaussian guides and a flat-top guide to illustrate the width definition.
-
beampy.examples.guides_z()¶ Display an array of guides and the curved guides system.
-
beampy.examples.multimodal_splitter()¶ Multimodal splitter 1x2. A single mode beam is split into two single mode waveguide by the use of an intermediate multimodal waveguide.
-
beampy.examples.show_grid()¶ Show the computation grid and the displayed grid
-
beampy.examples.stability()¶ Show the possible BPM approximations for implementing a refractive index variation
-
beampy.examples.test_kerr()¶ More test than example. Show different approximations for the BPM implementation of the Kerr effect.
