finesse.components.cavity.Cavity.storage_time

property Cavity.storage_time

The cavity storage time (τ\tau).

This quantity is defined as,

τ=1πFWHM,\tau = \frac{1}{\pi\mathrm{FWHM}},

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

Getter

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