WaveOpticsPropagation.jl

Build Status Code Coverage Docs stable Docs main
Documentation for stable version Documentation for development version

Propagate waves efficiently, optically, physically, differentiably with Julia Lang. Those functions are fast and memory efficient implemented and hence are suited to be used in inverse problems.

⚠️ Under development. Expect things to break. But feel free to try the examples, they should always work!

Installation

Officially registered, so install with:

julia> using Pkg; Pkg.add("WaveOpticsPropagation")

Examples

Look into the examples folder.

Features

Implemented

  • Propagate (electrical) fields based on wave propagation
  • Propagations
    • Angular Spectrum Method of Plane Waves (AS)
    • Fraunhofer Diffraction
    • Scalable Angular Spectrum propagation
    • Shifted Angular Spectrum propagation
    • Fresnel Propagation with Scaling Behaviour (no priority yet, PR are welcome for that. In principle very similar to the other methods.)
  • CUDA support
  • Differentiable (mainly based on Zygote.jl and ChainRulesCore.jl)

Planned

Vectorial propagation in free space is just a propagation of each of the components. Right now, this is not a priority and is not implemented yet. But of course, each vectorial component can be propagated separately.

There is the outdated PhysicalOptics.jl which provided similar methods. For geometrical ray tracing use OpticSim.jl.
