Hi Thomas, the spectral linewidth at FWHM refers to the width of the signal at the half power from its peak level. The spectral linewidth at 20dB refers to the linewwidth at “the bottom” of the signal (1% of peak power) which is usually considered as a total linewidth of the signal and used for CWDM spectral grid calculations.
