Namespace VirtualLabAPI.Core.FieldRepresentations

ApertureSettings: Class describing aperture settings, i.e. its shape, size, and edge width. Sometimes also used for describing a field edge.

ChromaticFieldsSetBase: Abstract base class for a Chromatic Fields Set (can be 1D or 2D)

ComplexAmplitude: This class represents a complex amplitude of a wave (without time depending part) in a plane or a complex transmission function.
Both X and Y field components are stored. In general all functions are applied to both components.
This class is also used to represent globally polarized fields and transmissions.
It contains one or two ComplexField as mathematical representations for complex fields. See manual for details of physical interpretation.
The ComplexAmplitude class can contain some additional information about the radius (distance from the origin) of a spherical phase factor. Using this information field may contain a spherical phase factor that is undersampled. If the radius of the spherical phase factor is known, the whole complex amplitude at every point can be reconstructed. The radius of the spherical phase factor helps to reduce the number of sampling points. Functions that use the ComplexAmplitude class have to take into account this spherical phase information to avoid numerical errors.
Operators (\(a+b\), \(a-b\), \(a*b\) and \(a/b\)) can be used. Passing \(a\) or \(b\) as Complex is supported. \(a^b\) can be applied for pointwise power function: \(a[x,y] ^ b\) \(b\) must be Complex. Operator \(a|b\) is used for calculation of inner product of two Complex Amplitudes: \(a|b=\sum _{j=0}^{m}\sum _{i=0}^{n}a_{{i,j}}b_{{i,j}^{\star}}\) (\(z^{\star}\) means conjugation of complex number).

ComplexAmplitudeInterpolation: This class contains static member functions for interpolating a complex amplitude to another sampling grid.

ComplexAmplitudeOperations: Contains different operators for the manipulation of a ComplexAmplitude.

ComplexAmplitudePointInterpolation: Class with static members that are able to interpolate pointwise between different sampling points of a complex amplitude. The point to interpolate is specified in physical coordinates. Additionally for most interpolation methods a non-static optimized version is supported. These functions are optimized for an interpolation on an equidistant grid. Different interpolation methods are supported.

ComplexAmplitudeView: Class which combines a complex amplitude with view settings.

FieldRepresentationObject: Abstract base class for all field representations.

HarmonicFieldsSet: Class containing a set of harmonic fields (i.e. of instances of class ComplexAmplitude).

HarmonicFieldsSetEvaluation: Evaluation functions for HarmonicFieldSet objects.

HarmonicFieldsSetView: Class which combines a harmonic fields set with view settings.

ImportExport: Collection of static support functions for export and import of data fields.

RigorousSimulationResult1D: Class for storing the results of rigorous calculations for which there is no modulation in y-direction. In this case the result is a line of orders. For each order the efficiency and Rayleigh coefficients are stored.

RigorousSimulationResult2D: Class for storing the results of rigorous calculations for real 3D systems, i. e. efficiencies and Rayleigh coefficients per order.

RigorousSimulationResultBase: Base class for storing the results of rigorous calculations, i. e. efficiencies and Rayleigh coefficients per order.

Transformations: Fourier transformations on various representations of fields.

AdditionalCAImportParams: Struct containing additional parameters for Import of a ComplexAmplitude.

CombinedComponent: Used for selection of the combination of the field components in a ComplexAmplitude.

VectorialComponent: Enum describing the vectorial components of a field (\(E_x\), \(E_y\), and \(E_z\)).
