pulse_dispersion_scan.m: Too many output arguments error #3

Closed cephLpod closed 3 years ago

cephLpod commented 3 years ago

When I run the pulse_dispersion_scan.m example in either MATLAB R2016b or R2020b, I get the following errors:

Error using LaserPulse/polynomialPhase Too many output arguments.

Error in LaserPulse/subsref (line 23) efield = pulse.(ref(1).subs);

Error in pulse_dispersion_scan (line 15) p.polynomialPhase([2000 100 0 0])

I see someone on the Mathworks site is also experiencing a similar issue, and some of the other examples (such as pulse_autocorrelation.m and pulse_chirp_scan.m) give me similar errors.

Thanks for any help you can give with this issue - I can't wait to use your code for some simulations!

thanks for letting me know!

there was a bug in the customized subsref operator; I reverted it to the default one and now at least in my matlab2015a the example scripts seem to work.

Please let me know if you find other bugs!

Thank you!! That’s fixed the problem for me.

May I also ask a question about usage? Do you happen to have a reference that talks about how to propagate a pulse through a lens?

Thanks!

usage: I typically used the LaserPulse code as a library for simulations in nonlinear/ultrafast optics, which often involve Fourier transforming forth and back, zero padding, etc..
propagation through a lens: the LaserPulse code currently accounts only for the pulse broadening effect (see the .propagate() method). It is possible to store the wavefront information by initializing the pulse with a multi-dimensional arrays, but there is no dedicated method for it. A very good reference about the propagation/focusing of optical fields is: https://www.photonics.ethz.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/Courses/NanoOptics/focus3.pdf;
