Atmospheric phase screen generator using a "woofer-tweeter" algorithm

This Python 3 module implements the algorithm described in the paper “Simulating Large Atmospheric Phase Screens Using a Woofer-Tweeter Algorithm.” Optics Express 24, no. 20 (October 3, 2016): 23566–71. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.24.023566.

Requirements

The module runs under Python3 and requires numpy and scipy.

For running some of the example code, the astropy library is used.

Installation

On unix-like systems do

pip3 install MegaScreen

or if that does not work because of file permission errors, then :

sudo pip3 install MegaScreen

Alternatively download and unpack a copy of this repository, change the working directory to this directory and then use

pip3 install -e .

This should install the package into the Python path.

Usage

See the documentation at http://megascreen.readthedocs.io/ for a description on how to use the module.
