Beyond the milestones

A 1.0.0 release also needs the following features, which are not assigned to a milestone yet. This definition is arbitrary; the timeframe is on the order of 1-2 years.

• Beamlet tracing: modeling of the coherence length and its influence on the contrast

• Polarizing optics based on the Jones formalism: wave plates (λ/2 and λ/4), retarders, Faraday rotators

• Isolators

• Modulators: AOM, EOM

• Visualization: performance updates

• Documentation: more beginner tutorials, e.g. a beam expander
