fouriax.JonesMatrixLayer#

class JonesMatrixLayer(jones_matrix)#

Bases: OpticalLayer

Spatial-domain Jones matrix modulation layer.

Parameters:

jones_matrix (Array)

__init__(jones_matrix)#
Parameters:

jones_matrix (Array)

Return type:

None

Methods

__init__(jones_matrix)

forward(field)

Apply this layer's optical transformation to field.

parameters()

Return trainable or configurable layer parameters.

validate_for(field)

Check that field is compatible with this layer.

Attributes

jones_matrix: Array#
forward(field)#

Apply this layer’s optical transformation to field.

Parameters:

field (Field) – Input optical field to transform.

Returns:

Transformed field. Subclasses should preserve batch axes, wavelength axes, and metadata unless the layer explicitly changes them.

Return type:

Field

validate_for(field)#

Check that field is compatible with this layer.

The default implementation validates the field itself. Subclasses should call super().validate_for(field) and add any layer-specific checks such as domain, polarization, or shape requirements.

Parameters:

field (Field)

Return type:

None

parameters()#

Return trainable or configurable layer parameters.

Returns an empty dict by default. Subclasses override this to expose arrays that should be updated during optimisation.

Return type:

dict[str, Array]
