These tutorials are designed to showcase the features of PyPO.

PyPO Functionalities

This set of tutorials demonstrates how to use PyPO, such as for making optical systems and performing calculations. The set starts with tutorials on how to build optical systems and perform ray-traces through them. Then, the physical optics calculations are demonstrated. The final tutorials in this set are concerned with calculating metrics used in PyPO, such as aperture efficiency, and importing custom beam patterns. These tutorials are HTML renders of Jupyter notebooks. For the interactive versions, see the "tutorials" folder in the root directory of PyPO.

GUI Tutorials

To provide a little help on how to use the GUI module, these tutorials can come in handy. The tutorials are designed to demonstrate basic knowledge on how to use PyPO through the GUI. This set of tutorials is essentially the same as the first three tutorials in the PyPO functionalities set, but worked in the GUI.
