Features for LOFT Discussion

Raytracing

Support for Non-sequential ray traces in ZOS
Support for Mixed-mode ray traces in ZOS

Physics

Accelerated GBD Algorithm
Truncated Gaussian Beamlet Decomposition
User-defined fresnel coefficients as a coating for surfaces

Plotting

"Publication-grade" default plotstyles for Jones Pupils, GBD Fields

Exporting

A clear exporting method for returning POPPY and HCIPy wavefronts from field data generated by poke
Data structure to export and import rayfronts that are pickles
Data structure to write Jones Matrices and GBD fields to fits files

Tests

Going through the code and completing tests for raytrace, poke_core, thinfilms, writing, etc.
