Hi!
I am new to these, and off the bat am confused by the units.
Manufacturers quote resolution either in units of length, e.g. 0.04 nm, or HZ. For example,
0.04 pm / 5MHz
0.16 pm / 20 MHz
0.8 pm / 100 MHz.
I am thrown by this since I thought frequency was the inverse of wavelength. I get the length part and can understand when I look at a plot of Power vs. Wavelength.
I know I am overlooking something obvious...please help!
Thanks!
John
