WISER

WISER: Wavefront sImulation codE libRary

WISER is a physical optics package, currently based on Huygens-Fresnel propagation integral, conceived for simulating the optical performances of X-Ray Mirrors.

Features

• It is 2D
• Optical elements are segments, curves, elliptic arc sections, circle arc setions, etc.
• Various sorces
• Various optical elements
• Accounts for error surface defects
  • Figure error (as profile)
  • Roughness (as statistical Power Density)
• Uses Huygens-Fresnel integral (monochromatic light, spatially coherent)

Light Sources

• Gaussian (TEM00)
• Gaussian-Laguerre
• Point Source (Spherical wave)
• Plane Wave
• Arbitrary (passed as 1d complex field at given wavelength)

Optics element

• Plane Mirror
• Elliptic Mirror
• Spherical Mirror
• Slit
• Detector
• Grating
