GitHub – radis/radis: 🌱 A fast line-by-line code for high-resolution infrared molecular spectra

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:

Getting Started

Install

Assuming you have Python installed with pip then use this command to install:

pip install radis -v

if you want to install radis through conda then use this command to

conda install radis -c conda-forge

or with mamba:

mamba 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 .

Quick Start

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')

Advanced use

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.

Compare with experiments

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.

GPU Acceleration

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"},
)
