PyOFTK is a Python/Numpy library for helping the developement of numerical simulation of optical pulses in optical fiber. PyOFTK is a work-in-progress project and for now it’s more like a whole bunch of functions and class I made for my own use during my graduate research.
Here is a simple example how we can use PyOFTK in iPython:
In [1]: import PyOFTK
In [2]: fiber1 = PyOFTK.FibreStepIndex(3.0, 62.5, 0.05, 0.0, 1.0)
In [3]: fiber1.printLPModes(1.03)
Mode LP01: u=1.71279090763
Mode LP02 unsupported
Mode LP03 unsupported
Mode LP04 unsupported
Mode LP05 unsupported
Mode LP11: u=2.58518963818
In [4]: print "Dispersion: " + str(fiber1.beta2(1.03) * 1e24) + " ps2/m"
Dispersion: 0.0215828748536 ps2/m
In [5]: fiber1.effIndex(1.03)
Out[5]: 1.4544886960584553
In [11]: fiber1.modeOverlap(1.03)
Out[11]: 0.6149059753294210
