Hi,
but you don't mean the greek mu, you mean a micro and
that is
SetOptions[Plot, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> "Wavelength (\[Micro]m)"];

Also, if you change \[Mu] to a standard character like m, the formatting looks perfectly acceptable. To be honest, I don't really understand the reason for the [#] & following the ColorData tag, but the gradient doesn't seem to work properly without it. Is my syntax correct?
