Experiment Module#

The experiment package is used to build large parameter sweeps. It lets you combine sources, scatterers and detectors to explore how scattering quantities change across many configurations.

Reading a sweep plot#

Examples request observables with Measure members and print the actual result.dims, result.shape, and measure units before plotting. Each remaining parameter dimension selects a family of curves; singleton axes are removed by default. A shaded standard-deviation band summarizes variation across the named sweep axis, not measurement uncertainty or a confidence interval.

Q measures are dimensionless efficiencies, C measures carry area units, and coupling is collected power in watts. Resonances can move with diameter, wavelength, refractive index, and the surrounding medium. Compare curves with one parameter held fixed before attributing a peak shift to a material change. See Read, select, and export results for indexing and export, and Measure reference for normalization conventions.
