disk_harmonic_energy

hcipy.mode_basis.disk_harmonic_energy(n, m, bc='dirichlet')

Get the energy of a disk harmonic function.

This allows for functions to sort a disk harmonic mode basis on energy.

Parameters

nint

Radial order

mint

Azimuthal order

bcstring

The boundary conditions to use. This can be either ‘dirichlet’, or ‘neumann’ for a Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition respectively.

Returns

scalar

The energy corresponding to the mode.

Raises

ValueError

If the boundary condition is not recognized.
