Laser Pulse Parameters (plasmapy.formulary.laser)

Functions for calculating quantities associated with laser pulses.

Attention

This feature is under development. Breaking changes may occur in the future.

Functions

electric_field_amplitude(intensity)	Calculate the electric field amplitude \(E_0\) from the intensity \(I\) of a laser.
intensity(electric_field_amplitude)	Calculate the intensity \(I\) of a laser from the electric field amplitude \(E_0\).

Aliases

PlasmaPy provides aliases of the most common plasma functionality for user convenience. Aliases in PlasmaPy are denoted with a trailing underscore (e.g., alias_). For further details, please refer to the contributor guide’s section on aliases.

E0_(intensity)	Alias to electric_field_amplitude.
I_(electric_field_amplitude)	Alias to intensity.
