Welcome to PyMoDAQ-Femto documentation!

PyMoDAQ-Femto is a 2-in-1 python application dealing with femtosecond laser pulse characterization. It features:

• A user interface called Simulator to simulate non-linear traces obtained using most known characterization techniques (FROG, D-Scan, … with their various non-linear flavour)

• a user interface called Retriever to run various retrieval algorithms on simulated or experimental traces (acquired for instance using PyMoDAQ or other means)

Both modules can be run as stand-alone application or plugged as an extension to `PyMoDAQ`__. All together it produces a framework for complete temporal characterization of shaped ultrashort femtosecond pulses.
