PyFiberModes

PyFiberModes is a Python package designed to simulate the propagation of modes in optical fibers. It supports all circularly symmetric geometries and provides tools for in-depth analysis of optical fiber properties and modal characteristics.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Simulations: Supports step-index fibers, multilayer fibers, and custom refractive index profiles.

• Extensive Mode Analysis: Calculate mode profiles, propagation constants, effective indices, and more.

• Open Source: Designed for customization and extensibility.

Installation

Using Pip

Install the PyFiberModes package directly from PyPi. Ensure you have Python 3.10 or later:

pip install PyFiberModes

Manual Installation

To manually install the package:

git clone https://github.com/MartinPdeS/PyFiberModes.git
cd PyFiberModes
pip install .

---

Testing

PyFiberModes includes comprehensive tests. To run the tests locally:

git clone https://github.com/MartinPdeS/PyFiberModes.git
cd PyFiberModes
pip install .
coverage run --source=PyFiberModes --module pytest --verbose tests
coverage report --show-missing

This will generate a coverage report detailing untested portions of the code.
