Physics Simulation for Optical Engineers
7 simulation engines for free-space optical communication. Atmospheric propagation, beam analysis, link budgets, orbital mechanics. Free for education.
Seven physics engines. One platform.
Atmospheric Propagation
Turbulence, scintillation, fog, rain attenuation. Real atmospheric models, not simplified approximations.
Beam Analysis
Gaussian beam propagation, divergence, wavefront analysis. Single beam through multi-beam phased arrays.
Link Budget
End-to-end FSO link budget with atmospheric, geometric, and system losses. Export to PDF.
Thermal Analysis
Thermal effects on optical components. Steady-state and transient analysis.
Alignment Optimization
Pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) simulation. Vibration and jitter modeling.
Weather Integration
Real-time NOAA and Visual Crossing data. Historical weather for long-term link availability prediction.
Orbital Mechanics
LEO/GEO/MEO satellite-to-ground link simulation. Eclipse, atmospheric traversal, Doppler.
