Abstract
Numerical end-to-end simulation in adaptive optics (AO) is a key tool in the development of complex systems, from the initial design to the commissioning phase. Based on our previous experience with PASSATA, we decided to develop a new AO simulation framework in the Python language, naming it short for: scalable parallel execution of computations upscaling large adaptive optics simulations (SPECULA). Following an object-oriented approach, the physical entities are modeled as processing objects connected to each other to exchange data objects … read more
