pyAtmosphere 0.0.1

Physics-based simulation of light propagation in turbulent atmosphere

pyAtmosphere

Physics-based simulation of light propagation in turbulent atmosphere.

Installation

*Highly recommend to use virtual environment.

Use the package manager pip to install required packages.

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to use GPU for simulation, you need to install CUDA on your machine. Additinally, the cupy python package is required. For example, for CUDA 11.0:

pip install cupy-cuda110

Usage

GPU usage

If you want to enable GPU simulation, execute at the beginning of your script:

from pyatmosphere import gpu
gpu.config['use_gpu'] = True

QuickChannel example

from pyatmosphere import QuickChannel

quick_channel = QuickChannel(
    Cn2=1e-15,
    length=10000,
    count_ps=5,
    beam_w0=0.09,
    beam_wvl=8.08e-07,
    aperture_radius=0.12
    )

quick_channel.plot()

Advanced channel

    Channel,
    RectGrid,
    RandLogPolarGrid,
    GaussianSource,
    IdenticalPhaseScreensPath,

    CirclePupil,
    MVKModel,
    measures
    )

channel = Channel(
    grid=RectGrid(
        resolution=2048, 
        delta=0.0015
    ),
    source=GaussianSource(

                f_min=1 / 1e3 / 15, 
                f_max=1 / 6e-3 * 2
            )
        ),
        length=50e3,
        count=5
    ),
    pupil=CirclePupil(
        radius=0.2
    ),
)

channel_output = channel.run(pupil=False)

mean_x = measures.mean_x(channel, output=channel_output)

Simulations

from pyatmosphere import simulations

beam_result = simulations.BeamResult(quick_channel, max_size=2000)
pdt_result = simulations.PDTResult(quick_channel, max_size=6000)
sim = simulations.Simulation([beam_result, pdt_result])
sim.run(plot_step=1000)
