spectral line [′spek·trəl ‚līn] (spectroscopy) A discrete value of a quantity, such as frequency, wavelength, energy, or mass, whose spectrum is being investigated; one may observe a finite spread of values resulting from such factors as level width, Doppler broadening, and instrument imperfections. Also known as spectrum line. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

The laser radiation was contained in a single spectral line having an approximately Gaussian intensity profile with known 1/[e. The wavelength of light emitted by a single atom appears as a sharp spectral line. The spectral line width and side-mode suppression performance of the 1310 nm single-mode VCSEL are equivalent to or better than a DFB laser. |
