About this technology
Overview
Poke is a package to interface with industry-standard raytracing engines to do physical optics calculations based on ray data. The development was inspired by the need to add more propagation physics modules for Coronagraphs to expand the design space, but Poke has been used to characterize existing observatories as well.
