pyoptools.raytrace.surface.detector module¶

Module that defines optical detector surfaces

class pyoptools.raytrace.surface.detector.ArrayDetector¶

CCD like detector surface.

Description the ArrayDetector class acts similar as a real CCD device. It holds a list of the coordinates of the rays that hits it.

Example of a CCD:

>>> cs=ArrayDetector(size=(10,10))

get_color_histogram()¶

Method that returns the number of ray impacts per unit of area of the detector. It simulates a color image.

Parameter:

size: Size of the detector in pixels. The physical size of the detector is given at the surface creation.
