Note that in this case you will have to provide a list of initial guesses for all the fitting parameters. A few tips: \begin{itemize} -\item Make sure that units of all your measured values are self-consistent - the program will go crazy trying to combine measurements in meters and and micrometers together! +\item Make sure that units of all your measured values are self-consistent - the program will go crazy trying to combine measurements in meters and micrometers together! \item Try to plot your function for guesstimated values before doing a fit with it. This catches many silly errors. \item You will have to fit for a term to account for the overall normalization and also for the fact that the maximum is not set at $x=0$. In other words, substitute $x \rightarrow x-x_0$. Estimate both of these (for the normalization, look at what happens when $x-x_0 = 0$) but include them as free parameters in the fit. \item You need to add a parameter to account for the non-zero background you observed when the laser was off. |
