Powder Optical Penetration Experiments--Analysis Scripts

This is a collection of analysis scripts to help out with the laser penetration experiments. All the files take different kinds of inputs and do slightly different things, as documented below. However, all have the same requirements, so these are detailed first.

Requirements

  • Seaborn
  • Matplotlib
  • Numpy
  • Pandas
  • Tkinter
  • Scipy

Scripts

penetrationDepth_analysis_unbound_10um.py

Generates a plot of transmission vs thickness and fits a an exponential. Calculates penetration depth based on the fitted function. Upon execution, the user is prompted to select a file. The selected file must have a .csv extension, and must be a comma-separated file with data similar to the following:

Micrometer,Thickness,Transmitted,Relative_Transmission
0,0,41.7,1.000
100,33.3,16.7,0.400
150,80,4.4,0.106
200,126.7,1.1,0.026
250,173.4,0.3,0.007
300,220.1,0.3,0.007

It is important that there are columns with titles are Thickness and Relative_Transmission, which respectively contain the estimated thickness in $\mu m$ and relative transmission in the range of (0, 1) where 1 corresponds to an empty sample holder. It is important that the first row of data in the file (the row immediately after the labels) corresponds to the zero-point (the zero-thickness sample with a relative transmission of 1). By default, this zero-point is ignored for both plotting and fitting, but this can be toggled with command-line arguments.

Arguments

--includeZero: if set, makes the script include the zero-point in both the plot and the fit. If not set, then the zero-point will be ignored.

--title: if set, sets the title of the drawn graph. Otherwise, the title of the graph matches the selected CSV file without the file extension

penetrationDepth_analysis_unbound.py

Generates a plot of transmission vs thickness and fits a an exponential. However, this file is designed to work with the format used originally for the 1um laser measurements. Calculates penetration depth based on the fitted function. Upon execution, the user is prompted to select a file. The selected file must have a .csv extension, and must be a comma-separated file with data similar to the following:

Reflection,0.8A,,,,,,,,,,,,
base,0.00,115.00,170.00,220.00,275.00,335.00,440,,,,,,
"Adjusted, direct",0.00,40.50,74.40,127.75,187.00,241.50,333.71,,,,,,
1.42,0.037,0.103,0.150,0.160,0.165,0.166,0.166,,,,,,
,,0.107,0.142,0.161,0.168,0.166,0.166,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Transmission,1A,,,,,,,,,,,,
base,0.00,115.00,170.00,220.00,275.00,335.00,440,,,,,,
"Adjusted, direct",0.00,40.50,74.40,127.75,187.00,241.50,333.71,,,40.5,74.4,127.75,187
505.00,501.00,234.00,63.90,19.20,6.70,1.60,0.25,,,,,,
,,223.00,63.40,18.20,6.20,1.50,0.24,,,,,,

What's important with this file is the following:

  • There must be two rows in the file whose first entries are "Adjusted, direct". These correspond to the improved powder thickness values from the Keyence.
  • Immediately above each must be a row with the corresponding originally-estimated thicknesses.
  • Immediately below the "Adjusted, direct" row must be two rows of raw measured data.
  • The fist instance of this pattern must correspond to reflection measurements, the second must correspond to transmission measurements.

Arguments

--useOriginalThickness: if set, makes the script use the original thicknesses given above the lines starting with Adjusted, direct. Otherwise, the script uses the new thicknesses which are given in the lines starting with Adjusted, direct.

--title: if set, sets the title of the drawn graph. Otherwise, the title of the graph matches the selected CSV file without the file extension

penetrationDepth_montecarlo_1um.py

Performs Monte Carlo analysis of the effect of thickness uncertainty on penetration depth. That is, given a standard deviation for each thickness, gets a bunch of sets of simulated thickness measurements and fits associates given transmittance values with them. Fits an exponential to these data points and calculates penetration depth with the same technique that is used by the aforementioned scripts. Then, reports on the distribution of these different penetration depths: draws a histogram and reports mean penetration depth, standard deviation, and KS fits to various distributions.

The selected CSV should look similar to the following:

Thickness setpoint,Mean Keyence Thickness,Keyence Thickness Standard Deviation,Transmission 1,Transmission 2,Baseline
shim_100,38.880000,6.957781,297.00000,303.00000,501.00000
shim_100 + shim_50,79.000000,8.451543,166.50000,172.00000,501.00000
shim_210,125.400000,12.720936,92.80000,87.00000,501.00000
shim_210 + shim_50,183.220000,12.142670,44.90000,45.30000,501.00000
shim_210 + shim_100,239.820000,10.087796,22.30000,25.40000,501.00000
shim_210 + shim_210,335.600000,10.265368,8.90000,9.80000,501.00000

note the first newline is after the word Baseline; I can't figure out how to disable text wrapping.

The important thing is the columns starting with Mean Keyence Thickness, Keyence Thickness Standard Deviation, Transmission 1, Transmission 2, and Baseline. The first row must contain exactly these names.

Arguments

--includeZero: if set, makes the script include the zero-point in both the plot and the fit. If not set, then the zero-point will be ignored.

ks_thickness_tester.py

Performs a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to see whether a set of given materials' thicknesses seem to come from the same population as a set of other materials' thicknesses. Asks the user for a CSV file, which must look like the following:

Iris's measurements,Keyence PA12,Keyence Raw,Keyence blend 1,Keyence blend 4
115.00,,44.00,45.00,37.00
170.00,,82.00,89.00,89.00
220.00,,135.00,142.00,121.00
275.00,,173.00,190.00,161.00
335.00,,238.00,239.00,229.00
440,,338,347,335
115.00,23,29,43,
170.00,68,95,70,
220.00,105,120,118,
275.00,177,175,172,
335.00,238,232,,
440,319,346,329,

The important thing is that one column is titled Iris's measurements, and this is just the shim settings so the program knows what to compare with what. The other requirement is that there should be columns with titles that match the --sample1Name argument, which defaults to Keyence PA12 but can be a list of material names. Also, one of the two following requirements must be satisfied: either each of the names specified in --sample2Name should match a column name in the CSV, or (if --sample2Name is not given) each of the columns except for Iris's measurements should have a material and associated thicknesses. If there are any extraneous columns, they will mess everything up.

Usage

python ks_thickness_tester.py --sample1Name "Keyence PA12" "Keyence Raw" --sample2Name "Keyence blend 1" "Keyence blend 4"

This creates two samples that will be fed into the KS test: one is composed of the PA12 and raw nylon, the other is composed of blend 1 and blend 4. The two samples are compared against one another via the aforementioned KS test. If --sample2Name were omitted, all the remaining materials would be put into sample 2, which in this case would have exactly the same behaviour as the example usage given above (because the remaining materials are blend 1 and blend 4, which we initially put explicitly into sample 2).

This can be used to compare each material against the others to find which ones are outliers in terms of layering behaviour. Another approach is to selectively exclude columns and look at how that changes the reported p-values.

Arguments

--sample1Name: if set, is a list of any number of e.g. material names, corresponding to the first entries in some columns in the provided CSV. If not specified, defaults to Keyence PA12. If the column(s) referenced by this argument do(es) not exist, everything crashes and burns. The specified columns are all put together /concatenated into Sample 1, which will be compared statistically to Sample 2 using the K-S test.

--sample2Name: if set, is a list of any number of e.g. material names, corresponding to the first entries in some columns in the provided CSV. If not specified, all remaining columns (i.e. except Irir's measurements and those specified in Sample 1) will used. The specified columns are concatenated together to form Sample 2 to be compared against Sample 1 with the K-S test.

--checkGaussian: if set, compares Sample 1 against a normal distribution whose mean and standard deviation are fitted to Sample 1.
