Abstract

Python is an easy open source software that can be used to simulate various optical phenomena. We have developed a suite of programs, covering both geometrical and physical optics. These simulations follow the experimental modules used in the ALOP (Active Learning in Optics and Photonics) UNESCO program in the sense that they complement it and help with student prediction of results. We present these programs and the student reactions to these simulations.
