rayflare

Open-source, integrated optical modelling of complex stacks. RayFlare incorporates the transfer-matrix method (TMM), ray-tracing and rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA/FMM), in addition to an angular redistribution matrix method which allows multiple methods to be coupled across a single structure to calculate total absorption/reflection/transmission, absorption per layer, and absorption profiles.
