Bandwidth Calculation (Spectral Transmittance)

Bandwidth Calculation (Spectral

Transmittance)

Bandwidth is calculated using the following equation:

Where

b is the bandwidth at X dB,

λ

N

is the nominal wavelength,

λ

XdBLeft

is the wavelength on the left at which the power is X dB below

the power at the nominal wavelength.

λ

XdbRight

is the wavelength on the right at which the power is X dB

below the power at the nominal wavelength.
