Backend

SilicH2O uses ramCOH as a backend and a comprehensive desciption of all its code is available at ramCOH.readthedocs.io.

Spectra imported from the main SilicH₂O menu are initialised with instances of its Glass class and interference spectra with the general RamanProcessing class. The methods implemented in each tool are linked in their respective documentation pages:

• baseline correction

• interpolation

• interference subtraction

ramCOH is a stand-alone Python library and all its code can also be used without the SilicH₂O interface, in scripts or from the command line. This gives the user a bit more flexibility, sinc SilicH₂O uses fixed default values for some method parameters.
