TiltElement

class hcipy.optics.TiltElement(angle, orientation=0, refractive_index=2.0)

Bases: SurfaceApodizer

An element that applies a tilt.

Parameters:

angle: scalar

The tilt angle in radians.

orientationscalar

The orientation of the tilt in radians. The default orientation is aligned along the y-axis.

refractive_indexscalar or function

The refractive index of the material. The default is 2.0 which makes it achromatic and exact.
