RADIS is a fast line-by-line code for high resolution infrared molecular spectra (emission / absorption, equilibrium / non-LTE) based on HITRAN/HITEMP/ExoMol.
It 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 -v
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
databank='hitran' # or 'hitemp'
)
s.apply_slit(0.5, 'nm') # simulate an experimental slit
s.plot('radiance')
The Quick Start examples automatically downloads 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). HITEMP can also be downloaded
automatically, or can be downloaded manually and described in a ~/radis.json
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.
RADIS supports GPU acceleration for super-fast computation of spectra:
from radis import SpectrumFactory
from radis.tools.plot_tools import ParamRange
sf = SpectrumFactory(
2100,
2400, # cm-1
molecule="CO2",
isotope="1,2,3",
wstep=0.002,
)
sf.fetch_databank("hitemp")
s = sf.eq_spectrum_gpu_interactive(
var="radiance",
Tgas=ParamRange(300.0, 2500.0, 1100.0), # K
pressure=ParamRange(0.1, 2, 1), # bar
mole_fraction=ParamRange(0, 1, 0.8),
path_length=ParamRange(0, 1, 0.2), # cm
slit_FWHM=ParamRange(0, 1.5, 0.24), # cm-1
emulate=False, # runs on GPU
plotkwargs={"nfig": "same", "wunit": "nm"},
)
Refer to GPU Spectrum Calculation on RADIS for more details on GPU acceleration.
