Hermite-Gauss 01 Mode Detector

This example demonstrates the initialization and visualization of HG01 Mode detector using PyMieSim.

Importing the package: PyMieSim

from PyMieSim.single.detector import CoherentMode
from PyMieSim.units import AU, degree

Initializing the detector

detector = CoherentMode(
    mode_number="HG01",  # Specifying LP01 mode
    sampling=500 * AU,  # Number of sampling points
    NA=0.5 * AU,  # Numerical Aperture
    gamma_offset=0 * degree,  # Gamma offset
    phi_offset=40 * degree,  # Phi offset in degrees
)

WARNING:root:High values of NA: 0.5 do not comply with the paraxial approximation. Values under 0.3 are preferred.

Plotting the detector

detector.plot()
