spectral width

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
spectral width
The amount of the electromagnetic spectrum that a laser beam covers. Thus far, it has been impossible to produce light pulses with zero spectral width. For example, a 1540 nm pulse might actually cover 1539.9 to 1540.1 nm, but not 1540.0 dead on. See optical bands.

Optical performance requirements such as optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and spectral width become much more stringent as bit rates increase.
The 1 Watt 100 micron single emitter C-mounted products feature the world's first internal grating at 808nm which serves to decrease the spectral width of the device while increasing the center wavelength stability and accuracy over time and temperature.
