gtrace.nonsequential.non_seq_trace(optList, src_beam, order=10, power_threshold=0.1, open_beam_length=1.0)

Perform non-sequential trace of the source beam, src_beam, through the optical system represented by a collection of optics, optList.

Parameters

  • optList (list of gtrace.optcomp.Optics) – List of optical components.

  • src_beam (gtrace.beam.GaussianBeam) – The source beam object.

  • order (int, optional) – An integer to specify how many times the internal reflections are computed. Defaults to 10.

  • power_threshold (float, optional) – The power threshold for internal reflection calculation. If the power of an auxiliary beam falls below this threshold, further propagation of this beam will not be performed. Defaults to 0.1.

  • open_beam_length (float, optional) – The default length for beams that are not hitting anything. Defaults to 1.0.

Returns

terminated_beam_list – A list of beams.

Return type

list of gtrace.beam.GaussianBeam
