With applications ranging from microscopy to free-space telecommunication, this research field is expanding rapidly. - It stands out that many of the important breakthroughs are made by developing better software that - incorporates increasingly advanced physical models and algorithms. - Typical control software involves individual code for scanning microscopy, image processing, + As the field advances, it stands out that many breakthroughs are driven by the development of better + software that incorporates increasingly advanced physical models and algorithms. + Typical control software involves fragmented implementations for scanning microscopy, image processing, optimization algorithms, low-level hardware control, calibration and troubleshooting, and simulations for testing new algorithms. The complexity of the many different aspects of wavefront shaping software, however, is becoming a limiting factor for further developments in the field, as well as for end-user adoption. - OpenWFS addresses these challenges by providing a Python module that coherently integrates - all aspects of wavefront shaping code. The module is designed to be modular and easy to expand. - It incorporates elements for hardware control, software simulation, and automated troubleshooting. + OpenWFS addresses these challenges by providing a modular and extensible Python library that + incorporates elements for hardware control, software simulation, and automated troubleshooting. Using these elements, the actual wavefront shaping algorithm and its automated tests can be written in just a few lines of code. }
