Polarization

class LeftCircular

Bases: PolarizationState

Left circular polarization state. This class represents a left circular polarization state, where the electric field rotates in a left-handed manner as it propagates. It can be initialized with an optional angle in radians to specify the orientation of the polarization.

__init__(self: PyMieSim.polarization.LeftCircular) → None

class PolarizationState

Bases: pybind11_object

Polarization state binding for PyMieSim. This class represents the polarization state of the source in PyMieSim. It can be initialized either with a Jones vector or with an angle in radians.

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Overloaded function.

1. __init__(self: PyMieSim.polarization.PolarizationState, jones_vector: collections.abc.Sequence[complex | typing.SupportsComplex | typing.SupportsFloat | typing.SupportsIndex]) -> None

   Initializes the polarization state using a Jones vector. The Jones vector should be a list or array of two complex numbers representing the x and y components of the electric field, respectively.

   param jones_vector:

   Two complex electric-field components along x and y.

   type jones_vector:

   list or numpy.ndarray

   For example, PolarizationState(jones_vector=[1+0j, 0+1j]).

2. __init__(self: PyMieSim.polarization.PolarizationState, angle: object) -> None

   Initializes the polarization state using an angle in radians. Zero radians gives linear polarization along x; pi/4 radians gives linear polarization at 45 degrees.

   param angle:

   Linear polarization orientation, carrying angular units.

   type angle:

   pint.Quantity

class RightCircular

Bases: PolarizationState

Right circular polarization state. This class represents a right circular polarization state, where the electric field rotates in a right-handed manner as it propagates. It can be initialized with an optional angle in radians to specify the orientation of the polarization.

__init__(self: PyMieSim.polarization.RightCircular) → None
