finesse.detectors.powerdetector.CustomPD.construct_beats

CustomPD.construct_beats(maxtem=None)[source]

Constructs, or re-constructs, the beat coefficients matrix based on the value of maxtem.

The underlying generic beats dictionary passed during construction is used to generate the beat factor matrix. If a beats matrix was passed directly during construction of the CustomPD, then this method has no effect.

Parameters

maxtem : int, optional

The maximum TEM order to generate the beat coefficients up to. Defaults to None such that this value is taken from the model associated with this detector.
