Optical Wave Propagation Modeling

This modeling tool simulates the physical propagation of optical beams through both atmospheric and underwater media. It accounts for environmental factors such as turbulence, absorption, scattering, and refractive index variations to evaluate beam deformation, divergence, and energy decay. Designed for researchers, system designers, and engineers working on long-range optical wireless or quantum links in challenging environments.

• Simulates Gaussian, spherical and plane waves propagation
• Models refractive index fluctuations and multipath effects
• Handles both linear and nonlinear beam dynamics
• Separate atmospheric and underwater profiles
• Beam evolution in spatial domain (2D/3D visualization)
• Built-in analysis for beam waist, spot size, divergence angle, and intensity loss

• Free-space optical communication system design
• Quantum key distribution (QKD) beam propagation
• Optical imaging and sensing in oceanographic research
• Environmental monitoring (air and water quality)
• Defense & surveillance systems (UAVs, UUVs, satellites)

• Standalone executable tool for Windows
• Visual interface for setting environment and beam parameters
• Interactive output: propagation animations, heatmaps, and profile graphs
• PDF user manual and quick-start guide
• Preloaded templates (standard atmospheric and underwater scenarios)

• Custom refractive index models (e.g., based on real data)
• Integration with external beam shaping modules
• Wavelength-dependent propagation analysis
• Extended support for underwater bio-optical properties (chlorophyll, particles)
• Export data for advanced post-processing
