LightSword 6.0
A powerful tool for simulation of light propagation and many other operations that can be performed on a wave front and its amplitude and phase parts.
Key features of LightSword 6.0:
a powerful and complete tool for the simulation of light propagation in both on-axis and off-axis cases
a possibility of performing a number of optical operations, like:
Fourier Transform (FFT algorithm)
complex coupling
multiplication/addition/subtraction/division by any light distribution
a large number of pre-defined initial light distribution types, e.g.:
plane wave, circus, rectus
truncated gaussian beam
Siemens star
an option of creating user-defined amplitude and phase distributions with an analytical equations' parser or .bmp files import
arrays up to 65536 x 65536 points are fully supported
efficient memory management - a 65k x 65k array (32GB of memory) can be calculated on a 128MB RAM PC, without using Windows' swapping technique
advanced scripting capability to ease the complex and time-consuming multi step calculations
enhanced statistics module and a flexible export option
