poppy Description

poppy is a Python module that implements an object-oriented system for modeling physical optics propagation with diffraction, particularly for multiwavelength simulations of telescopic and coronagraphic imaging.Right now only far-field diffraction (Fraunhofer regime) between image and pupil planes is supported; Fresnel propagation and intermediate planes are a future goal.Developed by Marshall Perrin at STScI, 2010-2012, for use simulating the James Webb Space Telescope.Documentation can be found online at http://www.stsci.edu/jwst/software/webbpsf/Product's homepage
