beam_parametersdict | None

The beam parameters. Either a dictionary containing the beam parameters settings or None. Only the parameters that are defined in the dictionary will be set, the other parameters will remain their default value. Note that the accepted beam parameters vary per beam type. The accepted parameters for a specific beam type and their default values can be obtained through zospy.analysis.physicaloptics.pop_create_beam_parameter_dict(), which can then be adjusted and parsed to beam_parameters. When set to None, the default beam parameters will be used. Defaults to None.

x_samplingconstants.Analysis.SampleSizes | str | int

The number of points used to sample the beam in the x direction. Either specified using constants.Analysis.SampleSizes, a string (e.g. ‘32x32’) or integer (e.g. 32). Note that the string or integer should match one of the sample sizes in constants.Analysis.SampleSizes (32 or ‘32x32’ for ‘S_32x32’ etc.). Defaults to 32.

y_samplingconstants.Analysis.SampleSizes | str | int

The number of points used to sample the beam in the y direction. Either specified using constants.Analysis.SampleSizes, a string (e.g. ‘32x32’) or integer (e.g. 32). Note that the string or integer should match one of the sample sizes in constants.Analysis.SampleSizes (32 or ‘32x32’ for ‘S_32x32’ etc.). Defaults to 32.

x_widthfloat

The original with of the region represented by the array in OpticStudio lens units. Defaults to 1.0.

y_widthfloat

The original with of the region represented by the array in OpticStudio lens units. Defaults to 1.0.

use_total_powerbool

Use total power. Note that either use_total_power or use_peak_irradiance has to be True. Defaults to False.

total_powerfloat

The total power. Only used when use_total_power is True. Defaults to 1.0.

use_peak_irradiancebool

Use peak irradiance. Note that either use_total_power or use_peak_irradiance has to be True. Defaults to True.

peak_irradiancefloat

The peak irradiance. Only used when use_peak_irradiance is True. Defaults to 1.0.

show_asconstants.Analysis.PhysicalOptics.POPShowAsTypes | str

Defines the default graph in OpticStudio. Defaults to ‘FalseColor’.

data_typeconstants.Analysis.PhysicalOptics.POPDataTypes | str

Defines the type of output data. Defaults to ‘Irradiance’.

projectconstants.Analysis.PhysicalOptics.POPProjectionTypes | str

Defines the perspective from which the beam is viewed. Defaults to ‘AlongBeam’.

contour_formatstr

The contour format string. An empty string means no formatting. Only used when show_as is set to ‘Contour’. Defaults to ‘’.

An integer defining the row or column number used when show_as is either ‘CrossX’ or ‘CrossY’. Also accepts ‘Center’. Defaults to ‘Center’.

zero_phase_levelfloat

The lower limit on the relative irradiance. Data points below this threshold have a phase value of 0. Defaults to 0.001.

save_output_beambool

Defines whether the output beam should be saved. Defaults to False.

output_beam_filestr

The filename to which the output beam should be saved. Should NOT include the .ZBF extension. The file will be saved in the OpticStudio <pop> folder.

save_beam_at_all_surfacesbool

Defines whether the beam should be saved at all surfaces. Only used when save_output_beam is set to True. Defaults to False.

compute_fiber_coupling_integralbool

Defines whether the fibre coupling is computed. Defaults to False.

When set to None, the default fiber parameters will be used. Defaults to None.

auto_calculate_beam_samplingbool

Defines whether the beam sampling should be automatically calculated. Will adjust x_width and y_width. This calculation is done just before the analysis is run. Only used when beam_type is not one of (‘File’, ‘DLL’, ‘Multimode’). Defaults to False.

oncompleteOnComplete | str

Defines behaviour upon completion of the analysis. Should be one of [‘Close’, ‘Release’, ‘Sustain’]. If ‘Close’, the analysis will be closed after completion. If ‘Release’, the analysis will remain open in OpticStudio, but the link with python will be destroyed. If ‘Sustain’ the analysis will be kept open in OpticStudio and the link with python will be sustained. To enable interaction when oncomplete == ‘Sustain’, the OpticStudio Analysis instance will be available in the returned AnalysisResult through AnalysisResult.Analysis. Defaults to ‘Close’.

Returns:

AnalysisResult

A Physical Optics Propagation analysis result.
