Icarus

Examples

• Fidelity versus Finestructure splitting

• Fidelity curves

• Monte carlo simulation of cross dephasing events

• Degree of corrolation ratios between linear and diagonal basis

• Degree of corrolation ratio between linear and diagonal basis versus background emission level

• Antibunching g2 versus fine structure splitting

Installation

Icarus depends on numpy and matplotlib so be sure to have those installed. If you have these then simply clone or download the repo.

	git clone http://github.com/eoinmurray/icarus.git
	cd icarus
	python Experiments/fidelity.py

PhotoLuminescence tools

Constants

Class that holds the quantum dot and experiment parameters.

	from constants import Constants
	constants = Constants()

QuantumDot

	from Icarus import QuantumDot
	qd = QuantumDot(constants.xtau, constants.xxtau, constants.ptau, constants.FSS, constants.crosstau)

Detector

	from Icarus import Detector
	detector = Detector(delay, efficiency, sigma, matrix)

Channel

	from Icarus import Channel
	channel = Channel(bin_width, detector1, detector2, name)

PhotonCountingModule

	from Icarus import PhotonCountingModule
	pcm = PhotonCountingModule()
	pcm.register_detector(name, detector)
	pcm.register_channel(name, channel)

Laser

	from Icarus import Laser
	laser = Laser(pulse_width, power)

OpticalBench

	from Icarus import OpticalBench
	opticalbench = OpticalBench()

Spectrometer

	from Icarus import Spectrometer
	spectrometer = Spectrometer()

Algorithms

Icarus comes with three common experiments pre written, autocorrelation, cross-correlation and polarization resolved correlations.

Auto correlation

Cross correlation

Polarization dependant correlation

Experiment Manager

Icarus has an experiment manager that can be use to quickly set up one of the algorithms.
