pysrw.propagation.groupOpticalSystem

pysrw.propagation.groupOpticalSystem(opticalSystem, groupSeq)

Inspect the elements of an optical system and group a given sequence of elements. Useful if the user is not interested in the intensity on some intermediate planes (for instance just after a lens). The computation of a sequence is more efficicent because it is performed at the SRW level and requires also less memory cause the wavefront is overridden.

Parameters:

• opticalSystem – the optical system dictionary.

• groupSeq – list of element types to group.

Returns:

list of optical containers where elements are grouped according

to the specified sequence.

Return type:
