In the case of two valid mode peaks.

• Set the levels (LOG) of the two valid mode peaks to LG1 and LG2 in order from the
left.
• Obtain λ
1
and λ
2
in the following manner.
• In the case of |LG2−LG1| is threshold value (THRESH1[dB]) or less.
λ becomes λ
1
and λ
2
from the left in order.
• In the case of |LG2−LG1| is larger than threshold value (THRESH1[dB])
Connect two valid mode peaks with a straight line (envelope).
In the case of LG1>LG2, set the wavelength for the left mode peak to λ
1
. Set the
wavelength of the point, where the line below the peak level by the threshold value
(THRESH[dB]) and the straight line (envelope) cross, to λ
2
.
In the case of LG1<LG2, set the wavelength for the right mode peak λ
2
. Set the
wavelength of the point, where the line below the peak level by the threshold value
(THRESH[dB]) and the straight line (envelope) cross, to λ
1
.
• Use the following equations, which incorporate multiplication by the multiplying factor
K for λ
1
and λ
2
, to obtain new λ
1
and λ
2
.
λ'C = (λ
2
+ λ
1
)/2
λ

= K × (λ

− λ'C) + λ'C
λ

= K × (λ

− λ'C) + λ'C
• Obtain the spectrum width from the following equation.
Δλ = λ

• Obtain the center wavelength λC from the following equation
λC = (λ

+ λ

)/2
