Description

Convert between wavenumber (in reciprocal centimeters) and wavelength (in microns)

Arguments and Return Values

Arguments: Any numeric array

Return Value: Input array converted from reciprocal centimeters to microns, or from microns to reciprocal centimeters

Usage

Syntax: cm2micron(data)

data can be an array or single value either in reciprocal centimeters or microns

The relation between the two is (wavelength in microns)*(wavenumber in reciprocal centimeters) = 10000. Therefore you don't have to specify the units of the input; it's just dividing 10000 by the input either way.

Examples

dv> wn=1400
1400
dv> cm=1400
1400
dv> micron=cm2micron(cm)
7.142857075
dv> cm2=cm2micron(micron)
1400.000000
