    Abstract

    The optical system simulation software Seelight is a system simulation software with independent intellectual property rights which can simulate beam generation, atmospheric transmission and adaptive beam control. The software provides an effective simulation tool for the application fields of optical system. In this article, we introduce the basic structure of Seelight software, the running interface, and the main modules of model libraries. Using the basic models of adaptive optics to build adaptive optics simulation systems, including the PZT deformable mirror module and the Hartmann wavefront sensor module, which improves the beam quality of the far field by correcting the wavefront aberration due to beam propagation through atmosphere. The correction effect of adaptive optics simulation system is verified under the different turbulence intensity, it is clear that correction residual greatly increased with the increasing of turbulence intensity. The Seelight software can be used to simulate various optical systems including adaptive optics system, and the system can be validated and optimized.
