cavcalc.functions.resonance

Optical resonance type properties of a Fabry-Perot cavity.

Note

Whilst these underlying functions are publicly accessible, it is recommended that you instead use the single-function interface calculate() for computing any of the cavity properties that you need; as that will result in a nice output object for accessing results.
