Bug in pd2 command?
I think FINESSE 3 is not working as expected.
Here is the problem. I am working with electro-optic beam deflectors (EOBDs) to generate HG10 modes as a part of the RF jitter alignment scheme study, and FINESSE 3 does not have a command to simulate that, unlike FINESSE 2. So, I was told I could use 2 lasers instead, and put them at the HOM separation frequency, and that should do the job. I can’t get this trick to work in FINESSE 3, but it did work in FINESSE 2. After some debugging, I think the problem is with ‘pd2’ command. I tried looking at different nodes in the setup using ‘pd2’, and I got non-zero values in FINESSE 2, but always zeros in FINESSE 3.
