Optical Simulation Python Packages

deeplens-core

Differentiable optical lens simulator for end-to-end computational imaging.

blender-optics-mcp

Blender add-on to design, simulate, align & render optical setups — live beam tracing, kinematic-mount auto-alignment, polarization (Jones/Stokes), interference fringes, Gaussian beams, wavelength optics, and a real-vendor component library. Driveable from the UI or a headless optics_api (AI/MCP-friendly).
