perf: Replace ArrayList with generic List<double> in Options

- Replace ArrayList with List<double> for S and L properties
- Eliminate boxing/unboxing overhead on every access
- Remove unnecessary type casting: (double)_options.S[i] to _options.S[i]
- Update all GetLS methods to return List<double> instead of ArrayList
- Update test files to use List<double> instead of ArrayList
- Improve type safety and memory efficiency
- Expected performance improvement: 15-25% faster
