treams._core.CylindricalWaveBasis

class treams._core.CylindricalWaveBasis(modes, positions=None)

Basis of cylindrical waves.

Functions of the cylindrical wave basis are defined by the z-components of the wave vector kz and the angular momentum m as well as the polarization pol. If the basis is defined with respect to a single origin it is referred to as “global”, if it contains multiple origins it is referred to as “local”. In a local basis an additional position index pidx is used to link the modes to one of the specified positions.

For cylindrical waves there exist multiple Polarizations and they can be separated into incident and scattered fields. Depending on these combinations the basis modes refer to one of the functions treams.special.vcw_A(), treams.special.vcw_rA(), treams.special.vcw_M(), treams.special.vcw_rM(), treams.special.vcw_N(), or treams.special.vcw_rN().

Parameters:

• modes (array-like) – A tuple containing a list for each of kz, m, and pol or pidx, kz, m, and``pol``.

• positions (array-like, optional) – The positions of the origins for the specified modes. Defaults to [[0, 0, 0]].
