Abstract

We present WOFRY (Wave Optics FRamework in pYthon), a specialized toolbox designed for wave optics modeling, with particular emphasis on partial coherence. This package is tailored to assist synchrotron scientists and engineers in the prototyping and modeling of X-ray sources and optics. WOFRY offers functionalities for generating and propagating 1D and 2D wavefronts, along with various tools for interacting with different optical elements. The software developed is available in the OASYS suite.
