Optics Python Packages

lenses

A python lens library for manipulating deeply nested immutable structures

poppy

Physical Optics Propagation in Python

raysect

The main source repository for the Raysect project.

optiland

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

optika

A Python library for simulating optical systems, similar to Zemax

legend-pygeom-optics

Optical properties for the LEGEND experiment and Geant4 simulations

fullseye

Fullseye — a numpy-native operator library for vision, 3-D and measurement: 1,500+ typed ops spanning 2-D imaging, point clouds/meshes/volumes, optics, tomography, interferometry, acoustics, colour and metrology, plus an evolutionary pipeline designer with honest holdout gating. Ships as an AI/RAG operator corpus.

slmsuite

Python package for high-performance spatial light modulator (SLM) control and holography. Supports features from aberration-corrected 3D point clouds to automated Fourier-domain calibrations.

axiprop

simple-to-use optical propagation tool

optiland-gui-zh

optiland-zh汉化版

pymiesimx

Interactive web app for Mie scattering simulations with PyMieSim: explore particles, scan parameters, and calculate ensemble optical properties.

generaltmm

General 4×4 transfer-matrix method (TMM) for optical simulations of isotropic and anisotropic multilayer structures. C++ core with Python bindings.

stpsf

Space Telescope PSF Simulation Tool

aobasis

A library to compute optical bases for a given set of points in 2D space. Main application is intended for adaptive optics, with support for Zernike, KL, Zonal, and Hadamard bases.

fdtd

A 3D electromagnetic FDTD simulator written in Python with optional GPU support

legume-gme

🌱 Guided-mode expansion of photonic crystal slabs

entroptics

The universe, in focus.

deeplens-core

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

pantometry

Physics for simulated worlds in Rust: a kernel that knows no domain and thirteen that do — heat, mechanics, optics, acoustics, electromagnetism, elasticity, fluids, porous media, molecular dynamics, electrical, quantum, pharmacokinetics, protein folds — plus scene and view layers that know none. Dimensions in the types, conservation audited.

deeptrack

DeepTrack2 is a modular Python library for generating, manipulating, and analyzing image data pipelines for machine learning and experimental imaging.

lightpipes

LightPipes for Python, "Pure Python version"

makewfs

A repostiory that simulate hyper realistic wavefront sensor frames fast.

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.

dualis

Physics for simulated worlds in Rust: a kernel that knows no domain and thirteen that do — heat, mechanics, optics, acoustics, electromagnetism, elasticity, fluids, porous media, molecular dynamics, electrical, quantum, pharmacokinetics, protein folds — plus scene and view layers that know none. Dimensions in the types, conservation audited.
