Optical Wave Propagation & Turbulence Simulation

This advanced simulation package enables realistic and high-fidelity simulation of optical wave propagation through turbulent atmospheric or underwater environments. It is designed to analyze effects like beam wander, scintillation, and wavefront distortion, while also offering modules to evaluate adaptive optics (AO) correction strategies. The tool is ideal for researchers and system developers in FSO, quantum optics, remote sensing, and directed energy systems.
