__init__

__init__(self, control, steps=1024, start=-256, stop=256, E_0=1, omega_0=10, delta=3, glass_dis=5e5, phase_control = "none")

the initialisation function.

Parameters:
  • control ("E_omega" or "E_t") – Takes the values either “E_omega” or “E_t”. It controls whether the pulse is created from a time or frequency space description.
  • steps – The number of steps in time. Used to define the time axis.
  • start – The start time (fs)
  • stop – The stop time (fs)
  • E_0 – The maximum amplitude of the electric field.
  • omega_0 – The central frequency of the pulse
  • delta – If control is “E_t” it is the width of the gaussian in the time axis.
  • glass_dis – The maximum insertion distance of the glass in nm
  • phase_control ("none" or "phi_quadratic" or "phi_cubic") – “phi_quadratic” gives a random quadratic phase in frequency space and “phi_cubic” gives a random cubic phase in frequency space. “none” results in no phase being added.
Return type:

None

my_compress

my_compress(self, in_a, compression_ratio_x, compression_ratio_y)

Return type:

compressed array
