In this work, we present the data and an implementation of the theoretical model that were used to prepare the manuscript with the title "Beam shape modification due to the non-linear optical response in a dense rubidium vapor" by A. J. van Lange, S. P. van Solinge, G. Buist, and D. van Oosten.
The root folder of this archive contains the figures in the manuscript as well as the Python scripts used to generate them. The (relative) paths used in these scripts can be used as a guide through the analysis and the dataset.
The folder PreProcessing contains all the Python scripts that were used to preprocess the data. The folder Data contains the results of that preprocessing, as well as the raw data (in the folder RawData).
The RawData consist of a series of runs (each run representing a different incident power as set using a combination of ND filters). The data for each run consist of a series of camera images (stored in the numpy .npz format) and .npy array containing the power (as measured using a Thorlabs power meter) and frequency of the laser (as measured using a High Finesse wavemeter). We refer to the figure and preprocessing scripts for further guidance.
