opticspy

Opticspy is a python module for optics application. I want this for a long time. One reason is I know both optics and python, so why no develop some optics tools? The second reason is that there is not much opensource, easy-to-use optics program module(matlab has great fuctions but do not specify to optics application). I want this could be developed in to a core for a future web application for optics.

Followings are primary opticspy modules:

1. Real ray tracing and Lens Design:

• Example 1: Basic functions introduction

• Example 2: A double gauss lens example

• Example 3: Build a Petzval lens with codev seq file

• Example 4: Build a microscope lens with codev seq file

2. Zernike Polynomial Methods

• Basic Zernike Polynomial Methods

• Zernike Polynomial Fitting Methods

• Orthonormal Rectangular Polynomials

3. Interferometer and Testing Methods

• Basic Interferometer Methods

• Phase shift interferometer and surface rebuild

• Hartmann Test Patterns

4. Wave Propagation and Aberration Methods

5. Lens aberration, Jones matrix and gauss beam methods

There are some interesting derivative from opticspy:

1. A Zernike Polynomial GUI app based on opticspy and PyQt5

It is very easy to reuse or "wrap" opticspy module with a GUI(e.g. PyQt)

2. Zernike Surface gif show

This is the Opticspy project page

This project is hosted on github in https://github.com/Sterncat/opticspy

Installing

Use pip install (recommend)

$ pip install opticspy

Or download here

$ python2.7 setup.py install

Some trouble shooting please read troubleshooting.md

How to use

>>> import opticspy

And just have fun with it!

What I want

• 1. After import the module and you will get some functions that can do some calculation and education in optics
• 2. Parameters should be very flexible, and the results should be shown in visualized, intuitionistic figures.
• 3. After development of core, I want it be dynamic web application(with Javascript)
• 4. I even hope one day it will become a part of online optics design application, who knows?

TODO:

• ✓ Real Ray tracing and basic lens design
• ✓ Zernike Coefficient calculation
• ✓ Zernike Polynomials surface(3D), map(2D), cutoff of 3D(1D), PSF
• ✓ Zernike Polynomials Fitting Method
• ✓ Rectangular, circle, double circle, frame, etc aperture
• ✓ Third order ray aberration plot
• ✓ Twyman_Green interferogram with aberration
• ✓ Lateral Shear interferogram with aberration
• ✓ Diffraction: generate diffraction pattern
• ✓ Convert Zernike to Seidel coefficient
• ✓ Seidel aberrations surface and interferogram
• ✓ Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction
• ✓ Hartmann Pattern Simulation
• ✓ Geometric matrix calculation
• ✓ PSF, OTF and MTF calculation
• Rochi Test
• Asphere fitting
• Some freeform theory
• More testing technology
• Third and high order aberration calculation
• Make it rock!
