Support for intermediate planes? about poppy HOT 1 OPEN

Yep, you can return intermediate planes if you set return_intermediates=True when you call the calc_psf function: https://poppy-optics.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/poppy.Instrument.html#poppy.Instrument.calc_psf

There are examples here for a Fresnel system, this will let you model diffraction at any plane in the system:

and there are examples here of returning intermediate pupil and image planes for a Fraunhofer system:

Is that what you were looking for?

(development has moved to https://github.com/spacetelescope/poppy/ but this feature is available for the versions in either repository).
