Python Library for Surface Metrology, X-Ray Optics, and Telescopes Design.

The lib is used to study the ideal behavior of metasurface. For classic optics, there are good ray tracing python libraries that support classic optics, like RayTracing (https://github.com/DCC-Lab/RayTracing#raytracing) and rayoptics (https://ray-optics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

A simple ray tracing and visualization tool for freespace optics.
