Light Propagation in Optical Fibers

Project description

by Scott Prahl

pypi github conda doi

License Testing Docs Downloads

Python code to calculate light propagation through optical fibers following the approach presented in Ghatak and Thyagarajan, An Introduction to Fiber Optics. Far-field fiber calculations are based on Chen, Foundations for Guided-Wave Optics.

Installation

Use pip:

pip install ofiber

or conda:

conda install -c conda-forge ofiber

Usage
