Optics Simulation Python Packages

optiland

Comprehensive optical design, optimization, and analysis in Python, including GPU-accelerated and differentiable ray tracing via PyTorch.

zospy

Wrapper around the Zemax OpticStudio API. Provides a more pythonic and intuitive way to interact with the ZOS-API through python using a .NET connection.

dlux

Differentiable Physical Optics Propagation in Jax

torcwa

GPU-accelerated RCWA with automatic differentiation

optikit

Solution of the paraxial wave equations using different coordinates systems

paos

PAOS is a fast, modern, and reliable Python package for Physical Optics studies.

lightwaveexplorer

An efficient, user-friendly solver for nonlinear light-matter interaction

tmm-fast

tmm_fast is a lightweight package to speed up optical planar multilayer thin-film device computation. Developed by Alexander Luce (@Nerrror) in cooperation with Heribert Wankerl (@HarryTheBird).

opticalpy

Exact geometrical optics including dispersion to learn and design optical instruments

snlo-helper

An autoclicker to automatically configure and read SNLO.

gradoptics

Differentiable Optics via Ray Tracing

rainbow-utils

Transfer Matrix Method

lasercad

LaserCAD invokes 3D output of optical setups from code similar as LATEX creates documents.
