Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ HarmonicFieldsSet() [1/2]

HarmonicFieldsSet ( ComplexAmplitude[] fields )

Constructor for generating a HarmonicFieldsSet out of list of harmonic field. All harmonic fields must be of the same type, must have the same dimensionality, polarization, and embedding medium - otherwise an ArgumentException is raised.

Parameters

fields Either a single ComplexAmplitude object or an array of ComplexAmplitude objects.

◆ HarmonicFieldsSet() [2/2]

HarmonicFieldsSet ( HarmonicFieldsSet sf )

copy constructor.

Parameters

sf	field to copy.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Add() [1/2]

virtual int Add ( ComplexAmplitude ca )

virtual

Checks whether the passed parameter is a complexAmplitudeField type and adds it to either file list in RAM or file list in hard disk and returns index.

Parameters

ca

Returns: index of file

◆ Add() [2/2]

void Add ( HarmonicFieldsSet hfsToAdd )

Adds all member fields of a given harmonic fields set. The same consistency rules as for adding single fields apply (for example a spectral harmonic fields set cannot be added to a spatial one).

Parameters

hfsToAdd The HarmonicFieldsSet object to add.

◆ CopyCoordinateSystemsFromOtherHFS()

void CopyCoordinateSystemsFromOtherHFS ( HarmonicFieldsSet hfsSource )

support method to copy the coordinate system information from the source HFS to the current instance

Parameters

hfsSource the harmonic fields set from which the coordinate information shall be copied

◆ GetCoordinateSystemForMember()

CartesianCoordinateSystem GetCoordinateSystemForMember ( int indexMember )

public property to get the Cartesian coordinate system that is associated with the member at index #indexMember

Parameters

indexMember the index for which the CS shall be evaluated

Returns: the Cartesian coordinate system for the member at index #indexMember

◆ GetNumberOfIncoherentModesPerWavelength()

int GetNumberOfIncoherentModesPerWavelength ( double wavelength )

Public support method which can be used to get the number of incoherent modes for a specified wavelength.

Parameters

wavelength The wavelength for which the number of incoherent modes should be evaluated.

Returns: The number of incoherent modes which have the specified wavelength.

◆ GetSortedListOfWavelength()

List< double > GetSortedListOfWavelength ( )

Public support method which provides a sorted list of all wavelengths present in the harmonic fields set.

Returns: A sorted list of the wavelengths which are stored within the harmonic fields set.

◆ IndexWiseSummation()

HarmonicFieldsSet IndexWiseSummation ( HarmonicFieldsSet hfs )

Index wise summation of two harmonic fields, i.e. this[i] + hfs[i] (Complex Amplitude Summation)

Parameters

hfs	The second harmonic fields set to add to this harmonic fields set.

Returns: The resulting harmonic fields set.

◆ Insert()

◆ ModeNumberString()

string ModeNumberString	(	int	index,

	)

Creates a string like "Field #1" to ensure the correct sorting in the parameter run. The number of digits is determined from the number of member fields in the harmonic fields set.

Parameters

index	The index of the mode. It is converted to two indices (wavelength and incoherent index) and then something like "Wavelength #1: 532 nm; Incoherent Mode #1" is returned.
omitWavelength	If this optional parameter is set to `true` the actual wavelength is not written to the mode string (only the wavelength index). This is necessary for e.g. the Parameter Run as then the wavelength might change with every iteration.
