Wave Optics FRamwork in pYthon

WOFRY [1] is the OASYS framework for waveoptics calculations. It contains a threefold functionality:

• it provides a generalization (or abstraction) of a software tool for wave optics, combining the component definitions from SYNED with the abstract declaration of wavefronts and propagators
• it defines a mechanism for interfacing a wave optics code (e.g., SRW, WISE etc.) in it, a first step for becoming interfaced in OASYS
• it provides native implementations of simple wavefronts (e.g., plane waves, spherical waves, Gaussian sources) and propagators [2] for prototyping optical systems.
