Project description

Diffractsim: A diffraction simulator for exploring and visualizing physical optics

Implementation of the angular spectrum method as well as other light propagation methods in Python to simulate diffraction patterns with arbitrary apertures. You can use it for simulating both monochromatic and polychromatic light also with arbitrary spectrums.

How the method and the simulator works is described in this Article. Take a look to the video to see the animated simulations!
