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
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
)
s.apply_slit(0.5, 'nm') # simulate an experimental slit
s.plot('radiance')
Calculate a CO nonequilibrium spectrum from the HITRAN database (on your first call, this will calculate and cache the CO(X) rovibrational energies):
s2 = calc_spectrum(1900, 2300, # cm-1
molecule='CO',
isotope='1,2,3',
pressure=1.01325, # bar
Tvib=700, # K
Trot=300, # K
mole_fraction=0.1,
path_length=1, # cm
)
s2.apply_slit(0.5, 'nm')
s2.plot('radiance', nfig='same') # compare with previous
The Quick Start examples automatically download 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). These databases must be described in a ~/.radis
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.
Alternatively, you can also run RADIS directly in the browser with the RADIS Interactive Examples project. For instance, run the Quick Start example on the link below:
