What Does FWHM Stand For?
FWHM stands for Full Width Half Maximum
FWHM, or Full Width Half Maximum, is a quantitative measurement used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and spectroscopy. It represents the width of a peak in a distribution or signal at half of its maximum height. By providing a measure of the spread or resolution of the peak, FWHM helps in characterizing the performance of systems such as lasers, optical filters, and spectral analysis tools.
