pyLuminous 0.8

Optical Transfer Matrix and simple Quantum Well modelling

This library consists of three sublibraries: pyLuminous, pyFresnel and pyQW for performing a few specific physics simulations.

pyLuminous is an optical transfer matrix code. Unlike other optical transfer matrix codes, this code allows for layers with uniaxial dielectrics which have their optical axes normal to the plane of the layers.

pyFresnel contains codes for modelling the optical properties of dielectric interfaces and dielectric slabs (etalons).

pyQW is a simple code for a semi-analytical simulation of a finite semiconductor quantum well (conduction band). It also models the well’s intersubband transitions (transitions between the conduction band levels).

This library depends upon numpy, scipy and matplotlib.
