RADIS is a fast line-by-line code for high resolution infrared molecular spectra (emission / absorption, equilibrium / nonequilibrium).
Includes post-processing tools to compare experimental spectra and spectra calculated with RADIS or other spectral codes.
User guide, install procedure and examples are available on the RADIS Website:
Assuming you have Python installed with the Anaconda distribution just use:
pip install radis -v
That's it! You can now run your first example below. If you encounter any issue, or to upgrade the package later, please refer to the detailed installation procedure .
Calculate a CO equilibrium spectrum from the HITRAN database, using the calc_spectrum function. Output is a Spectrum object:
from radis import calc_spectrum
s = calc_spectrum(1900, 2300, # cm-1
molecule='CO',
isotope='1,2,3',
pressure=1.01325, # bar
Tgas=700, # K
mole_fraction=0.1,
path_length=1, # cm
databank='hitran' # or 'hitemp'
)
s.apply_slit(0.5, 'nm') # simulate an experimental slit
s.plot('radiance')
The Quick Start examples automatically downloads the line databases from HITRAN-2016, which is valid for temperatures below 700 K.
For high temperature cases, you may need to use other line databases such as
HITEMP-2010 (typically T < 2000 K) or CDSD-4000 (T < 5000 K). HITEMP can also be downloaded
automatically, or can be downloaded manually and described in a ~/radis.json
Configuration file.
More complex examples will require to use the SpectrumFactory class, which is the core of RADIS line-by-line calculations. calc_spectrum is a wrapper to SpectrumFactory for the simple cases.
Experimental spectra can be loaded using the experimental_spectrum function and compared with the plot_diff function. For instance:
from numpy import loadtxt
from radis import experimental_spectrum, plot_diff
w, I = loadtxt('my_file.txt').T # assuming 2 columns
sexp = experimental_spectrum(w, I, Iunit='mW/cm2/sr/nm')
plot_diff(sexp, s) # comparing with spectrum 's' calculated previously
Typical output of plot_diff:
Refer to the Examples section for more examples, and to the Spectrum page for more post-processing functions.
