NOTCH Width Measurement
Obtain a bottom level. Then, obtain the NOTCH width for the bottom level and its center
wavelength.
Following table shows the details of parameters for NOTCH analyses.
Parameter Abbreviation Default Value Setting Range Unit Description
THRESH TH 3.00 0.01 to 50.00 dB Threshold value
K K 1.00 1.00 to 10.00 - Multiplying factor
TYPE TYPE BOTTOM BOTTOM / PEAK - Reference position for
search
Algorithms for analyses are described here. They differ depending on the types of
analysis (BOTTOM/PEAK). Algorithms for each type of analysis are described below.
When “TYPE” is BOTTOM
• Obtaintheminimumlevel“LGmin.”Also,setthewavelengthofthispointtoλmin.
• Set the rightmost wavelength, which is located on the left of
λ
min and which crosses
the level (LOG) of |LGmin + threshold value (THRESH[dB])|, to
λ
A.
• Settheleftmostwavelength,whichislocatedontherightofλminandwhichcrosses
the level (LOG) of |LGmin + threshold value (THRESH[dB])|, to
λ
B.
• Obtain
λ
A and
λ
B through multiplication by the value which is set to the multiplying
factor K.
