Scatterers

class Sphere(*, source, medium_property, diameter, property)

Bases: BaseScatterer

A data class that represents a spherical scatterer configuration used in PyMieSim simulations.

This class provides specific implementations for setting up and binding spherical scatterers with their properties to a simulation environment. It extends the BaseScatterer class by adding spherical-specific attributes and methods for handling simulation setups.

Parameters:

• source (PyMieSim.experiment.source.base.BaseSource) – Light source configuration for the simulation.

• diameter (Quantity) – Diameter(s) of the spherical scatterers in meters.

• property (List[BaseMaterial] | List[Quantity]) – Refractive index or indices of the spherical scatterers themselves.

• medium_property (List, optional) – BaseMaterial(s) defining the medium, used if medium_index is not provided.

class Cylinder(*, source, medium_property, diameter, property)

Bases: BaseScatterer

Represents a cylindrical scatterer configuration for PyMieSim simulations.

Parameters:

• source (PyMieSim.experiment.source.base.BaseSource) – Light source configuration for the simulation.

• diameter (Quantity) – Diameter(s) of the cylinder in meters.

• property (List[BaseMaterial] | List[Quantity]) – Refractive index or indices of the spherical scatterers themselves.

• medium_property (List[BaseMaterial] | List[Quantity]) – BaseMaterial(s) defining the medium, used if medium_index is not provided.

class CoreShell(*, source, medium_property, core_diameter, shell_thickness, core_property, shell_property)

Bases: BaseScatterer

A data class representing a core-shell scatterer configuration used in PyMieSim simulations.

This class facilitates the setup and manipulation of core-shell scatterers by providing structured attributes and methods that ensure the scatterers are configured correctly for simulations. It extends the BaseScatterer class, adding specific attributes and methods relevant to core-shell geometries.

Parameters:

• source (PyMieSim.experiment.source.base.BaseSource) – Light source configuration for the simulation.

• core_diameter (Quantity) – Diameters of the core components.

• shell_thickness (Quantity) – Thicknesses of the shell components.

• core_property (List[BaseMaterial] | List[Quantity]) – Refractive index or indices of the core.

• shell_property (List[BaseMaterial] | List[Quantity]) – Refractive index or indices of the shell.

• medium_property (List[BaseMaterial] | List[Quantity]) – BaseMaterial(s) defining the medium, used if medium_index is not provided.
