finesse.tracing.forest.TraceForest.trace_beam

TraceForest.trace_beam(self) → dict

Performs a “model-time” beam trace on all trace trees.

This method is called internally by Model.beam_trace(). One should use that method to get a more complete representation of the tracing of the beam through a model.

Returns

tracedict

Dictionary of node: (qx, qy) mappings where node is each OpticalNode instance and qx, qy are the beam parameters in the tangential and sagittal planes, respectively, at these nodes.
