While implementing our fancy vector apodizing phase plate in a POPPY model, I realized there's no obvious way to define a FITSOpticalElement in terms of phase alone. Because vAPPs use "vector phase", the phase map is actually defined in radians / waves independent of wavelength.
If there's interest, I'd like to add support for phase maps in radians for FITSOpticalElements. Of course, I could just subclass it myself, but in the spirit of open-source I thought I'd see if you wanted this upstream 😄
