Description

Computes the value of LŠm(r), the associated Laguerre polynomial for mode indices m,a .

 

Syntax

Lval = Lagr( r, m, a )

 

Parameters

Lval (Double)

Return value for the associated Laguerre polynomial of mode indices m,a evaluated at coordinate r.

 

r As Double

Argument used to evaluate the polynomial.

 

m As Double

Radial mode index.

 

a As Double

Azimuthal mode index.

 

 

Remarks

Computes the value of LŠm(x), the associated Laguerre polynomial of mode indices (m,a) at value r.

 

The associated Laguerre polynomial obeys the recursion relation     LŠm(r) = LŠ+1m(r) - LŠ+1m-1(r)
