Wavelength averaging

Description

Wavelength averaging is the averaging of several adjacent data points across the recorded spectrum (spectral smoothing), to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. For example, if the instrument recorded 5 data points per nm, the average of the 5 points can be taken for each successive nm across the range of the spectrum to give a 5-point smoothing. This method clearly reduces the wavelength resolution.
