Wavelength linewidth of a damped-oscillator power resonance

ID: wavelength-linewidth-of-a-damped-oscillator-power-resonance

Converting the two half-power frequencies using gives . Since , this reduces exactly to the displayed expression. The wavelength endpoints are not symmetric around ; a symmetric narrow-line sketch is an approximation. This conversion concerns the same measured response versus a reparametrized axis, not a transformation between spectral density conventions.
