Elements

Elements or Vector{<:Elements} can be also compare with ≈.

ABCDMatrixOptics.FreeSpace — Type

FreeSpace(dz)

Construct a free space propagation over distance dz.

source

ABCDMatrixOptics.ThinLens — Type

ThinLens(f)

Creates a thin lens with focal length f.

source

ThinLens(R1, R2, n_lens, n)

Creates a thin lens defined by the first radius of curvature R1, the second R2. The lens refractive index is n_lens and the outer refractive index is n.

source

ABCDMatrixOptics.ThickLens — Type

ThickLens(;  R1, R2, t, n_lens=1.5 n1=1.0, n2=1.0)

Construct a thick lens with the keywords:

R1 radius of curvature of first surface
R2 radius of curvature of second surface
t: thickness of lens
n_lens=1.5 refractive index of lens
n1=1: refractive index of the medium of the incoming side
n2=1: refractive index of the medium of the exiting side

source

ABCDMatrixOptics.Mirror — Type

Mirror(R=Inf)

Mirror with radius of curvature R. Per default Inf, so a flat mirror.

source

ABCDMatrixOptics.Interface — Type

Interface(n1, n2)

Creates a flat interface with refractive index n1 on the entering side and n2 on the new medium.

source

Interface(; n1, n2, R=Inf)

Creates a curved interface with radius R and with refractive index n1 on the entering side and n2 on the new medium.

source

ABCDMatrixOptics.dz — Function

dz(element::Element)

Returns how much an element changes the optical distance z.

source

Base.isapprox — Function

Base.isapprox(a::Vector{<:Element}, b::Vector{<:Element})

Compare two vectors of elements using Base.isapprox for each element's ray matrix (ABCD entries). Does consequently not consider one discretization of element FreeSpace different from another, or one realization of an imaging system from another as long as both achieve (within tolerances) the same imaging.

Note

The atol (absolute tolerance) parameter can be used but is typically nonsensical as it will be used for each of the ray matrix entries ABCD which usually differ vastly in magnitude.
