Detector output format in PyKat when using x2axis in Finesse

With one xaxis and yaxis abs:deg or yaxis re:im, the output from out['detector_name'] is an array of complex numbers.

If we add an x2axis, the output from out['detector_name'] is a 3D matrix, where for

  • yaxis re:im the output from out['detector_name'][0] is a 2D matrix with the real parts and out['detector_name'][1] is a 2D matrix with the imaginary parts.
  • yaxis abs:deg the output from out['detector_name'][0] is a 2D matrix with the absolute values and out['detector_name'][1] is a 2D matrix with the phases in degrees.

I think the outputs with one and two x-axes should be consistent. I suggest that we change the output when using x2axis into complex number as well.
