I would like to have a string expression followed by a fraction in paren=
theses, but the string expression appears in the numerator, instead of in f=
ront of the fraction. Here is my expression for SetOptions:

Use StringForm:
SetOptions[ListLinePlot,
AxesLabel -> {"Wavelength (\[Mu]m)",
StringForm["Solar Irradiance (`1`)", m/2]}]
