Surface height from one confocal return spectrum — the wavelength *is* the height.
The inverse of :func:chromatic_confocal_simulate. Find the peak wavelength
of the spectrum, then::
height = (lambda_peak - reference_wavelength_nm) * dispersion_um_per_nm
No scan, no moving parts, one spectrum per point — which is why this family
reaches sampling rates a z scan cannot, and why it is limited to the axial
range the objective's chromatic spread covers.
The four *mode* estimators are :data:ESTIMATORS, identical to
:func:csi_peak_position's and sharing its implementation. `"gaussian"` is
exact for a Gaussian confocal response (measured 0.0e+00 to 3.6e-15 um),
*including when the peak is narrower than one bin and when it sits two bins
from the band edge* — the logarithm of a sampled Gaussian is a parabola
whatever its width, and the fit is local. That exactness is a property of
noiseless data only, which is what *min_peak_bins* is about.
spectrum: 1-D non-negative intensities across the spectrometer.
wavelength_start_nm / wavelength_step_nm: the spectrometer axis.
dispersion_um_per_nm: the axial chromatic calibration constant.
reference_wavelength_nm: the wavelength that focuses at height 0.
subtract_background: subtract the spectrum's median before locating the peak.
On by default because a pedestal drags the `centroid`
estimator toward the middle of the band exactly as it
drags the CSI centroid toward the middle of the scan.
min_visibility: refuse a spectrum whose peak prominence
`(max-median)/max` is below this — a flat spectrum has
no focused wavelength and its argmax is noise.
min_peak_bins: refuse a peak whose full width at half maximum spans
fewer than this many bins. Undersampling does not break
the noiseless algebra, but it destroys its noise
rejection. Measured at 1 % noise (1000 peak counts,
sigma_n = 10, 100 trials), RMS error in locating the
peak against the number of bins across its FWHM:
0.5 bins -> 0.256 nm
1.0 bins -> 0.137 nm
2.0 bins -> 0.010 nm
4.0 bins -> 0.030 nm
8.0 bins -> 0.118 nm
Two bins is the optimum and a half-bin peak is 25x
worse, from a spectrum that looks perfectly healthy —
hence the default of 2. Note the curve turns around
again: a very *broad* peak is also bad, because the
three-point fit then sits where the curvature is tiny
and noise dominates it. "More samples is better" is
false here and this operator does not claim it. Set to
0 to disable the check if you know your data is
clean.
max_carrier_fraction: refuse a spectrum whose dominant alternating component
sits above this fraction of the Nyquist frequency. A
confocal response is one smooth peak and all of its AC
content is at low frequency (measured: dominant bin at
0.010 of Nyquist for a 4 nm peak, 0.010 for a 1 nm peak,
0.015 with 5 % noise). A z-scan interferogram put in
here instead sits at 0.333 — its fringe carrier — and
without this check its carrier's argmax would come back
as a focused wavelength and therefore as a plausible,
finite, wrong height. This is the guard that lets the
two 1-D families share one type pool safely. Pass 0 to
disable.
Returns the height as a float, in micrometres. It may be negative — a height
is signed, unlike a time-of-flight distance.
Raises `ValueError`: a non-1-D / empty / too-short (< 3) / non-finite /
complex / masked *spectrum*, a *spectrum* over :data:MAX_SCAN_POINTS
elements (checked before the float64 promotion), any negative intensity
(a spectrometer cannot read negative light; clip explicitly if this is a
pre-subtracted spectrum), a non-positive step / dispersion / reference
wavelength, an unknown *mode*, a peak prominence below *min_visibility*, a
peak narrower than *min_peak_bins*, and a peak on the first or last bin
(the surface is outside the calibrated axial range, which is
`+-(band_nm/2) * dispersion_um_per_nm` about the reference).
