Diffraction propagation with large tilts#

One of lentil’s unique features is its hybrid approach to handling tilt.

The plane’s fit_tilt() method performs a least squares fit to estimate and remove tilt from the opd attribute. The removed tilt is accounted for by appending an equivalent Tilt object to the plane’s tilt attribute. The optical effect of the tilt is automatically applied during a propagation step.
