About

Stable Dev Build Status Coverage Aqua DOI

BeamletOptics.jl, or BMO for short, is a 3D Gaussian beamlet tracing package mainly intended for the simulation of breadboard optical setups -- e.g. laser interferometers -- with simple components like lenses or beamsplitters. It offers a flexible kinematic API for the easy placement and movement of components.

For more information, refer to the documentation.

Features

  • Hybrid sequential and non-sequential 3D ray tracing without paraxial approximation
  • TEM₀₀ Gaussian beamlet models
  • Various optical components
    • Mirrors
    • Lenses
    • Beamsplitters
    • Detectors
  • Surface-like modeling of rotationally symmetrical lens systems
  • Extendable API design for the implementation of custom optical interactions
  • Easy visualization via the Makie package

Installation

To install this package in your current project environment, enter the Pkg REPL-mode via ] and add BeamletOptics or in the REPL enter:

julia using Pkg; Pkg.add("BeamletOptics")

Examples

For a variety of illustrated examples and tutorials, refer to the Tutorials and Examples sections of the documentation linked to above.
