class ContinuousWaveProfile(LongitudinalProfile):
    r"""
    Class representing a continous wave laser longitudinal profile.

    Specifically, the longitudinal profile will be represented by a constant value.

    Note that using this profile will force the number of points in the longitudinal
    dimension to 1. Additionally, it will force the length of the longitudinal axis
    1 s.

    Parameters
    ----------
    wavelength : float (in meter)
        The main laser wavelength :math:`\lambda_0` of the laser.

        self.__update_is_cw__(True)



    def evaluate(self, t):
        """
        Return the longitudinal envelope.

        Parameters
        ----------
        t : ndarrays of floats
            Define longitudinal points on which to evaluate the envelope

        Returns
        -------
        envelope : ndarray of complex numbers
            Contains the value of the longitudinal envelope at the
            specified points. This array has the same shape as the array t.
