Python library Python OPTical Fibre

pyofss Description

pyofss is a Python module that allows construction of an optical fibre system from separate modules. A typical system consists of a generator module and an optical fibre module.The field generated is propagated through the fibre by numerical integration of an appropriate Schrödinger-type equation. Resulting field profiles may be plotted, including map and waterfall plots of the propagation. A graphical interface is also available.InstallationWarningSome of the following commands require superuser privileges. Use: sudo commandor: su rootthen run the commands.Always be cautious when running with enhanced privileges!Pyofss is available on Pypi and may be retrieved using the pip program: aptitude install pip pip install pyofssNoteMake sure dependencies are satisfied using either: aptitude install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlibor: pip install numpy scipy matplotlibA more complete package, including documentation and examples, is available on the pyofss website at http://curvedthoughts.com/software.html.
