Physical optics propagation (wavefront diffraction) for optical simulations, particularly of telescopes.
Project description
Physical Optics Propagation in PYthon (POPPY)
POPPY is a Python package that simulates physical optical propagation including diffraction. It implements a flexible framework for modeling Fraunhofer and Fresnel diffraction and point spread function formation, particularly in the context of astronomical telescopes. POPPY was developed as part of a simulation package for JWST, but is broadly applicable to many kinds of imaging simulations.
Developed by Marshall Perrin and others at STScI, 2010-2015, for use simulating the James Webb Space Telescope and WFIRST.
