Fit 2D time- and energy-resolved spectroscopy data

trspecfit — 2D Time- and Energy-resolved Spectroscopy Fitting

A Python library for fitting multi-component spectral models to time-resolved spectroscopy data.

trspecfit is a Python library to define and fit multi-component spectral models for 1D energy-resolved and 2D time-and-energy-resolved spectroscopy data. The package extends lmfit-based workflows to support component-based models, time-dynamics, convolution kernels and helpers for generating simulated data.

Key capabilities

• Define modular spectral components (Gaussian, Voigt/GLP/GLS, Doniach–Sunjic, backgrounds, convolution kernels).
• Build 1D (energy) and 2D (time × energy) spectra from components and attach time-dynamics to individual model parameters.
• Fit models with lmfit and wrappers for confidence intervals and optional MCMC sampling (lmfit.emcee).
• Simulate individual 1D/2D spectra to validate models, sets of spectra with noise to validate fits.
• Generate ML training data via parameter space exploration and model simulation with/out noise.

Repository layout

• src/trspecfit/ — library source code (core engine, functions, and utils)
• examples/ — Jupyter notebooks and YAML model files that demonstrate usage
• tests/ — pytest unit tests for core functionality
• pyproject.toml — project metadata and dependency declaration

Installation

Install from GitHub

pip install git+https://github.com/InfinityMonkeyAtWork/time-resolved-spectroscopy-fit.git

Install for development

For local development, clone the repository and install in editable mode:
Windows PowerShell example:

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -e .

macOS / Linux example:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip
pip install -e .

Example Jupyter notebooks and YAML files

Open the notebooks in examples/ for runnable examples:

• examples/simple_model/example.ipynb — basic usage example (NOT implemented)
• examples/dependent_parameters/example.ipynb — parameters of one peak depend on another peak
• examples/subcycles/example.ipynb — multiple subcycles inside one pump-probe cycle
• examples/simulator/example.ipynb — simulate (noisy) datasets based on your model input
• examples/simulator/ml_training_data_gen.ipynb — sample model parameter space and create (noisy) datasets

Fitting

Use trspecfit.fitlib.residual_fun together with fitlib.fit_wrapper to run fits using lmfit. The wrapper supports sequential optimization, lmfit.conf_interval and optional MCMC sampling with lmfit.emcee for robust uncertainty estimates.

Simulator

Generate synthetic data with realistic noise models. The simulator supports:

• 1D spectrum generation: Single energy-resolved spectra at specific time points
• 2D spectrum generation: Complete time- and energy-resolved datasets
• Multiple noise realizations: Generate N independent noisy datasets from the same model for statistical analysis
• Systematic parameter space exploration: Generate ML training datasets by sweeping model parameters through user-defined ranges or distributions

The simulator supports two detector types:

• Analog detectors (CCD, photodiode, lock-in): Continuous signals with Gaussian or Poisson noise
• Photon counting (APD, PMT, event mode): Discrete photon events with shot noise

See examples/simulator/ for complete examples (basic usage: example.ipynb, ML data generation: ml_training_data_gen.ipynb).

Testing

Run the unit tests with pytest (from the project root):

pip install pytest
pytest -q

Plotting with PlotConfig

Use PlotConfig to manage plot settings consistently across your project.

Basic Usage

from trspecfit import PlotConfig
from trspecfit.utils import plot as uplt

# Create config with custom settings
config = PlotConfig(x_label='Energy (eV)', x_dir='rev', dpi_plot=150)
uplt.plot_1D(data, x, config=config)

Using Project Settings

Load settings from your project.yaml file:

from trspecfit import Project, PlotConfig

project = Project(path='my_project', config_file='project.yaml')
config = PlotConfig.from_project(project)

# All plots use project settings
uplt.plot_1D(data, x, config=config)
uplt.plot_2D(data, x, y, config=config)

Quick Overrides

Override specific settings without creating a new config:

config = PlotConfig.from_project(project)
uplt.plot_1D(data, x, config=config, x_dir='rev', colors=['red', 'blue'])

Multiple Configurations

Create different configs for different purposes:

default_config = PlotConfig.from_project(project)
pub_config = PlotConfig.from_project(project, dpi_save=600, dpi_plot=150)
talk_config = PlotConfig.from_project(project, ticksize=14)
