ScalarTransmission

class poppy.ScalarTransmission(name=None, transmission=1.0, **kwargs)[source]

Uniform amplitude transmission between 0 and 1.

Either a null optic (empty plane) or some perfect ND filter… But most commonly this is just used as a null optic placeholder.

Parameters:

namestring, optional: Descriptive name. Auto-generated from transmission value if not given.
transmissionfloat: Amplitude transmission value (not intensity), between 0 and 1. Default is 1.0.

Methods Summary

Note that this is the amplitude transmission, not the total intensity transmission.
