finesse.components.laser.Laser.tem

Laser.tem(n, m, factor, phase=0.0)

Distributes power into the mode HGnm.

Parameters:

n, mint

Mode indices.

factorfloat

Relative power factor, modes with equal factor will have equivalent power distributed to them.

phasefloat, optional; default = 0.0

Phase offset for the field, in degrees.

Notes

This does not change the total power of the laser, rather, it redistributes this power into / out of the specified mode.
