Paraxial wave optics of Gaussian beams through sliced lenses.

parameters and result describe a lens experiment, simulation runs it with a PropagationBackend, storage stores it, and classical_numerics and analysis provide its references; gaussian_beam, elements and phase_protocol hold the physics, and visualization and cli the plots and the command line.

Modules:

• analysis –

  Quantities to analyze a lens experiment with, e.g. its beam waist along the way.

• classical_numerics –

  Classical references of a lens experiment: split-step numerics and thin lens analytics.

• cli –

  The command line of the lens experiment simulations, shared by their backends.

• elements –

  Phase signals of optical elements in the paraxial, thin element approximation.

• gaussian_beam –

  Gaussian beams through paraxial optical systems, with ABCD ray transfer matrices.

• parameters –

  The parameters of a lens experiment: a Gaussian beam through a plano-convex lens.

• phase_protocol –

  The arithmetic of the sample-based phase protocol, independent of its implementation.

• result –

  The result of a lens experiment: snapshots of the transverse field along the way.

• simulation –

  The simulation of a lens experiment, independent of how the phases are applied.

• storage –

  Storage of lens experiments, one folder per run.

• visualization –

  Plots of transverse fields.
