property Cavity.is_changing

Flag indicating whether any geometric parameter inside the cavity is changing.

A geometric parameter is defined as one of:

  • radii of curvature of surfaces,

  • focal lengths of lenses,

  • angles of incidence of beam splitters,

  • lengths of spaces,

  • refractive indices of spaces,

i.e. any parameter which can affect the ABCD matrix values.
