Align an optical bench in the Blender Optics Simulator — steer the beam onto its target, recover a dark port, or null an interferometric tilt using the influence-matrix solvers. Use when asked to "align the bench", "get the beam on the detector", "walk the beam", "null the tilt / fringes", "maximize coupling", or…
Build or extend an optical bench in the Blender Optics Simulator — start from a canonical example or add and place components, set their parameters and mounts, and verify the result. Use when asked to "build a bench", "set up an interferometer / telescope / AO loop", "add a lens/mirror/beamsplitter", "assemble a…
Scope an optical-simulation request honestly — map "can this bench simulate X?" to a tier ((a) reproducible now / (b) via wave.py single-plane FFT-PSF / (c) needs an engine we lack), then cite the oracle-verified case or name the missing engine + the external tool to use. Use when asked "can it simulate …", "is X in…
