In the last post I presented the small module for gaussian optics that I’ve created for sympy. Here I’ll try to show a real problem solved with it and with sympy.

[update]: The api is still changing. Also here I’m using ABCD matrices for something that is …

[update] The API shown here will most definitely change.

During my internship at LKB, Paris I’m expected to prepare a number of optical setups. I thought that it would be interesting to do the work in SymPy. That’s why I started working on the gaussopt module in sympy …
