where, Bn and λn (n = 1, 2, 3 ….i) is calculated as level and wavelength
at the point with a level more than a slice level down from the peak.

Mode Offset, Stop Band, Center Offset
These are calculated using the following formulae:
Mode Offset = λ

– λ
max
Stop Band = λ

– λ

Center Offset =
where, λmax is the wavelength at the maximum peak, λ
left
is the
wavelength at the left side of the maximum peak, λ
right
is the wavelength
at the right side of the maximum peak, and λ
side
is the side mode
wavelength.
However, λ
side
is the side mode selected from the side mode settings, 2nd
Peak, Left or Right.
