Optical fibre system simulator
Project description
Pyofss allows construction of an optical fibre system from separate modules. A typical system consists of a Gaussian pulse generator module and an optical fibre module. The field generated is propagated through the fibre by numerical integration of an appropriate Schrödinger-type equation. Simulated effects include that of dispersion (second, third, and higher order), attenuation, self-phase modulation, self-steepening, and Raman scattering. Resulting field profiles (including multiple traces for the fibre module) may be visualised using a range of plot types. These include standard x-y plots, top-down “map” plots, three-dimensional “waterfall” plots, and animation videos.
Installation
Pyofss is available on Pypi and may be retrieved using the pip program:
$ aptitude install pip $ pip install pyofss
- Then import pyofss within scripts or in an interactive session:
>>> from pyofss import *
