manual
LightPipes for Matlab is a set of functions written in C available to Matlab It is designed to model coherent optical devices when the diffraction is essential. The toolbox consists of a number of functions. Each function represents an optical element or a step in the light propagation. There are apertures, intensity filters, beam-splitters, lenses and models of free space diffraction in LightPipes. There are also more advanced tools for manipulating the phase and amplitude of the light. The program operates on a large data structure, containing square two-dimensional arrays of complex amplitudes of the optical field of the propagating light beam.
The Matlab version of LightPipes has a number of advantages:
The graphics-, animation- and other features of Matlab can be combined with the LightPipes commands.
You can use variable arguments in the function calls and handle complex data structures in a very simple way.
Enhanced flexibility and fast execution.
There are also LightPipes versions for UNIX, DOS and for Mathcad
Examples
A number of examples can be executed if you have Matlab installed on your computer.
