WaveDudeNext turns any image into a refractive scene and simulates waves in real time
WaveDudeNext 2D Wave Simulator
WaveDudeNext is a free Windows 2D wave optics simulator that lets you place light sources and optical parts on a canvas and watch waves propagate as field and intensity. It supports lenses, mirrors, fibres, Bragg reflectors, gradient-index lenses, zone plates, and logic gates, with live editing, unlimited undo, probes with CSV export, and video export to MP4, AVI, QuickTime, PNG/JPEG sequences, and OpenEXR. It runs on GPU or CPU and opens Wave Dude 2D projects directly.
Turn any image into a refractive scene, add sources, watch waves refract, diffract and interfere.

funny ive been working on a much more rudimentary version of wave simulations just for fun, but mainly for rust/wgpu: https://wave.arpadvoros.com/

Really cool software! Helpful for anyone getting into photonics
