Mesh#

class optika.materials.meshes.Mesh(chemical, efficiency, pitch)[source]#

Bases: AbstractMesh

An explicit description of a mesh designed to support a thin-film filter.

Attributes

`chemical`	The chemical formula of the mesh material.
`efficiency`	The fraction of light that is not blocked by the mesh.
`pitch`	The density of the mesh in lines per inch or equivalent.
`shape`	The array shape of this object.

Methods

`__init__`(chemical, efficiency, pitch)
`to_string`([prefix])	Public-facing version of the `__repr__` method that allows for defining a prefix string, which can be used to calculate how much whitespace to add to the beginning of each line of the result.

Parameters:

chemical (str | AbstractChemical)
efficiency (float | AbstractScalar)
pitch (Quantity | AbstractScalar)

to_string(prefix=None)#

Public-facing version of the __repr__ method that allows for defining a prefix string, which can be used to calculate how much whitespace to add to the beginning of each line of the result.

Parameters:: prefix (None | str) – an optional string, the length of which is used to calculate how much whitespace to add to the result.
Return type:: str

chemical: str | AbstractChemical = <dataclasses._MISSING_TYPE object>#: The chemical formula of the mesh material.

efficiency: float | AbstractScalar = <dataclasses._MISSING_TYPE object>#: The fraction of light that is not blocked by the mesh.

pitch: Quantity | AbstractScalar = <dataclasses._MISSING_TYPE object>#: The density of the mesh in lines per inch or equivalent.

property shape: dict[str, int]#: The array shape of this object.
