Summary

Description
English: How short you can make a pulse depends on many frequencies you are using (bandwidth). But the "duration-bandwidth product" depends only on the shape of your power spectrum. Interestingly, the question "which power spectrum will result in the shortest pulse" depends A LOT on how you decide to measure how wide things are. In particular using the standard deviation or the full-width half-maximum, give very different numbers in many cases.
