finesse.components.cavity.Cavity.storage_time

property Cavity.storage_time

The cavity storage time ($\tau$).

This quantity is defined as,

$$\tau = \frac{1}{\pi\mathrm{FWHM}},$$

where $\mathrm{FWHM}$ is the full-width at half-maximum of the cavity resonance.

Getter:

Returns the storage time of the cavity (read-only).
