Raytrace module

Chromatic Confocal Sensor Ray Tracer

Specialized ray tracing engine designed for simulating and optimizing chromatic confocal sensors. This repository provides a powerful toolset for researchers and engineers working on precise optical measurement systems, enabling the accurate modeling of light interactions within chromatic confocal setups.

Defining the setup

The optical setup is defined inside the setup.py file. If, for example, an achromatic doublet is defined each face of both lenses should be defined as follows:

doublet = {
    "AC500-150-A-ML_1": {
        "Front Face": dict(
            curvature=96.85, konic=0, z_0=0, aperture_radius=50 / 2
        ),
        "Back Face": dict(
            curvature=-73.74,
            konic=0,
