Primary LanguagePython

Density-field plotter

Density-field plotter plot the density and laser field in the same picture. The field includes the laser electric field in the laser polarization direction and longitudinal electric field along the simulation box.

To run, python rho_electric.py. To generate the corresponding jupyter notebook, we use jupytext.

To generate a jupyter notebook from a Python script, do:

jupytext rho_electric.py --to ipynb

One then has to delete the original Python script, which will be re-generated by Jupyter.

For LaTeX font rendering of matplotlib figures, under Ubuntu 20.04:

$ sudo apt install dvipng texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended cm-super

The script is developed for the generation of plots in the following publications:
