finesse.analysis.actions.operator.Eigenmodes

Overview

class finesse.analysis.actions.operator.Eigenmodes(cavity: Cavity, frequency, *, name='eigenmode')

Bases: Action

For a given Cavity defined in a model, this action will compute the roundtrip operator and calculate the eigen-values and -vectors of the cavity. This will not give correct solutions for coupled cavities as these need to include additional effects.

This can be used to determine what modes combination of modes are resonating in a cavity and the required tuning to make that mode resonate.

Parameters

cavitystr or Cavity

cavity name or Cavity instance

frequencyfloat

Optical carrier or signal frequency to use for calculating the operators

namestr, optional

Name of the solution generated by this action
