  • Diffraction-Simulations--Angular-Spectrum-Method

    Discontinued ✨ A diffraction simulator for exploring and visualizing physical optics. [Moved to: https://github.com/rafael-fuente/diffractsim]

    • The simulation was done with the angular spectrum method, which is a method that can be used to solve partial linear differential equations. Source code used here.
