treams.SMatrices.periodic

SMatrices.periodic()

Periodic repetition of the S-matrix.

Transform the S-matrix to an infinite periodic arrangement of itself defined by

\[\begin{split}\begin{pmatrix} S_{\uparrow \uparrow} & S_{\uparrow \downarrow} \\ -S_{\downarrow \downarrow}^{-1} S_{\downarrow \uparrow} S_{\uparrow \uparrow} & S_{\downarrow \downarrow}^{-1} (\mathbb{1} - S_{\downarrow \uparrow} S_{\uparrow \downarrow}) \end{pmatrix}\,.\end{split}\]
Returns:

complex, array_like
