Four ways to describe the same light — edit any field and the other three update instantly.
Wavelength is the common language of datasheets. Frequency rules coherent communications and DWDM — the ITU grid is anchored at 193.1 THz (≈1552.52 nm) with 50/100 GHz spacing, and laser frequency stability is quoted in MHz/GHz. Wavenumber (cm⁻¹) is the standard of spectroscopy and TDLAS literature — HITRAN line positions are listed in wavenumbers. Photon energy decides whether a detector can "see" the light at all: it must exceed the material bandgap — InGaAs at ≈0.73 eV cuts off near 1.7 µm, which is exactly why InGaAs detectors serve the 1310/1550 nm bands.
Check value: 1550 nm = 193.414 THz = 6451.61 cm⁻¹ = 0.7999 eV.
