Full Width at Half Maximum to Standard Deviation converter

Function for converting Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of a signal to the standard deviation

You are now following this Submission

This function can be used for directly converting the full width at half maximum (FWHM) to the standard deviation of a peak.
s = FWHM./(2*sqrt(2*log(2)))

One input arguments: 'FWHM'
One output argument: 'sigma'

FWHM : Full width at half maximum
s : Standard deviation

Input syntax: sigma = fwhm2sigma(FWHM)
