class GaussianLongitudinalProfile(LongitudinalProfile):
    r"""
    Class for the analytic profile of a longitudinally-Gaussian laser pulse.

    More precisely, the longitudinal envelope
    (to be used in the :class:`.CombinedLongitudinalTransverseProfile` class)
    corresponds to:

    .. math::

        \mathcal{L}(t) = \exp\left( - \frac{(t-t_{peak})^2}{\tau^2}
                        + i\omega_0t_{peak} \right)

    Parameters
    ----------
    tau : float (in second)
        The duration of the laser pulse, i.e. :math:`\tau` in the above
        formula. Note that :math:`\tau = \tau_{FWHM}/\sqrt{2\log(2)}`,
        where :math:`\tau_{FWHM}` is the Full-Width-Half-Maximum duration
        of the intensity distribution of the pulse.

    t_peak : float (in second)
        The time at which the laser envelope reaches its maximum amplitude,
        i.e. :math:`t_{peak}` in the above formula.

    cep_phase : float (in radian), optional
        The Carrier Enveloppe Phase (CEP), i.e. :math:`\phi_{cep}`
        in the above formula (i.e. the phase of the laser
        oscillation, at the time where the laser envelope is maximum).

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

        Returns
        -------
        envelope : ndarray of complex numbers
