POFS (Particle Based Optical Fibre simulation) is a software to simulate and display the light spread in a fiber-optic cable using a physically correct calculated particle system. The underlying engine is based on the C3CS and some functions of the raytracing library Powertek.Rt and allows the calculation of the spread and movement of all particles in the system using optical laws. The software offers a wide range of adjustable parameters, such as particle number, direction, speed, etc. Customized ASE-files are used to load and simulate different optical fibers with different refractive indices of core and cladding.
