Nemaktis is an open-source platform including tools for propagating and visualizing optical field in complex birefringent media such as liquid crystal (LC) layers. It includes three backends implementing advanced numerical methods for light propagation, as well as an easy-to-use high-level interface in python allowing to quickly setup a simulation and visualize optical micrographs of an LC structure as in a real microscope. This repository is for archival purpose only, for installation instructions please check the documentation: https://nemaktis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/overview.html
