Transfer Matrix Optics¶
This module calculates transfer matrix optics. Basic usages look like this:
# Setup the layers
layers = ['Air', 'SiO2_2', 'TiO2_2', 'GaAs_2']
# Assign the thickness to each layer.
# Assuimg the first and the last layers are infinite.
thicknesses = [0, 170, 135, 300]
tm_layer = TMLayers(layers, thicknesses,
wl_range=np.arange(400, 1099, 1))
R, T = tm_layer.get_RT()
plt.plot(tm_layer.wl_range, R, label='R')
plt.plot(tm_layer.wl_range, T, label='T')
