iadpython
by Scott Prahl
iadpython will be a pure Python module to do forward and inverse multiple light scattering (radiative transport) in layered materials. Calculations are done using van de Hulst’s adding-doubling technique.
The original adding-doubling algorithm was developed by van de Hulst to model light propagation through layered media. I extended it to handle Fresnel reflection at boundaries as well as interactions with integrating spheres.
Finally, the code was further extended to handle lost light using Monte Carlo techniques for inverse calculations.
Version v0.4.0 started the migration to a pure-python implementation. This version includes the ability to do forward calculations of light transport through layered 1D structures.
The long-term goal is rewrite the integrating sphere, inverse algorithm, and lost light calculations in pure python so that one can do inverse calculations (i.e., reflection and transmission measurements to intrinsic absorption and scattering properties).
Both inverse and forward calculations are currently possible using the iadc framework. This is a python interface to the inverse adding-doubling package written in C by Scott Prahl <https://github.com/scottprahl/iad>. This works now but is a nuisance to install and maintain because of its dependence on compiling and installing a C library.
See <https://iadpython.readthedocs.io> for full documentation of iadpython.
Usage
The following will do a forward calculation:
import iadpython as iad
mu_s = 10 # scattering coefficient [1/mm]
mu_a = 0.1 # absorption coefficient [1/mm]
g = 0.9 # scattering anisotropy
d = 1 # thickness mm
a = mu_s/(mu_a+mu_s)
b = mu_s/(mu_a+mu_s) * d
# air / glass / sample / glass / air
s = iadpython.Sample(a=a, b=b, g=g, n=1.4, n_above=1.5, n_below=1.5)
ur1, ut1, uru, utu = s.rt()
print('Collimated light incident perpendicular to sample')
print(' total reflection = %.5f' % ur1)
print(' total transmission = %.5f' % ut1)
print('Diffuse light incident on sample')
print(' total reflection = %.5f' % uru)
print(' total transmission = %.5f' % utu)
Installation
Use pip:
pip install iadpython
If you just want to do forward calculations then you’re done.
If you want to do inverse calculations, then you’ll need to build and install the libiad library:
git clone https://github.com/scottprahl/iad.git cd iad # edit Makefile as needed make install-lib
Dependencies
Required Python modules: numpy, matplotlib, ctypes, scipy
