finesse.detectors.field_detector.FieldDetector

Overview

class finesse.detectors.field_detector.FieldDetector(name, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Detector

Outputs an array of the higher order modes amplitudes at a particular node and frequency. The mode ordering is given by Model.homs.

This detector can only be used on optical nodes.

Parameters
namestr

Name of newly created detector.

nodeNode

Node to read output from.

ffloat

Frequency of light to detect (in Hz).

>>> out = model.run()
>>> print(out['fd1'])
