pyLuminous

This project is a collection of python modules for modelling various optical systems. It presently consists of pyFresnel and pyQW. pyFresnel models optical properties of dielectric layers and includes a thin film model (unlike the many other codes out there this can also handle uniaxial layers as long as the optical axis is aligned with the stack growth direction). pyQW models very simple (n-doped) quantum well structures and their intersubband transitions.

Project Samples

Comparison of Isotropic and Anisotropic Absorbing Slabs (for a very strong transition)
