Python interface to RefractiveIndex database

This package provides a programmatic interface to the refractiveindex.info database, as well as allowing users to import their own libraries in the same database format.

This package is built off of the refractiveindex package.

Installation

pip install refractiveindexlibrary

In order to use the refractiveindex.info data, you must also clone or download the database repository.

Usage

from refractiveindexlibrary import Library

lib = Library()

# Import the refractiveindex.info database
lib.add_database(dbpath = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'refractiveindex.info-database', 'database'))

shelves = lib.get_shelves()
print(shelves)

shelf = shelves[0]
books = lib.get_books(shelf)
print(books)

book = books[0]
pages = lib.get_pages(shelf, book)
print(pages)


SiO = lib.get_material(shelf='main', book='SiO', page='Hass')

wavelength_um = 0.600

SiO.get_n(wavelength_um)
# (1.96553846)

SiO.get_k(wavelength_um)
# (0.001)
