Unit conversion

Module containing convenient unit conversion factors, including

  • radians_per_fs_to_THz

  • radians_per_fs_to_meV

  • radians_per_fs_to_invcm

  • THz_to_meV

  • THz_to_invcm

  • meV_to_invcm

Here, for example, radians_per_fs_to_invcm can be used to convert an angular frequency in units of radians/fs to a frequency in 1/cm, as demonstrated by the code snippet below.

# converting the angular frequencies (omega) in a Sample object to frequencies in inverse cm
from dynasor.units import radians_per_fs_to_invcm
frequencies_invcm = sample.omega * radians_per_fs_to_invcm

# converting frequencies from inverse cm to meV
from dynasor.units import meV_to_invcm
frequencies_meV = frequencies_invcm / meV_to_invcm
