Absolute optical wavelength measured to ±1 ppm
Automatic calibration with internal HeNe Laser standard
Fast update rate of 20 Hz
Wide wavelength range from 700 to 1650 nm
NIST-traceable calibration
Robust design for manufacturing environments
The New Generation of Wavemeter is here. The New Focus™ WM-1210 Wavemeter is the perfect instrument for your test and measurement applications where ultimate wavelength certainty is required. This easy-to-use device requires minimal setup and is ready to use out of the box. The front panel display makes reading measurements simple and straightforward. The WM-1210 also comes standard with a full suite of software to give the user complete control over the device and its integration into their systems.
The WM-1210 utilizes a scanning Michelson interferometer that continuously determines the absolute wavelength of a laser source by comparing its interference fringe pattern with that of an internal Helium-Neon (HeNe) Laser standard. The built-in HeNe Laser automatically and reliably calibrates the WM-1210 for ultimate accuracy in your measurement.
The large wavelength measurement range of 700 to 1650 nm makes the WM-1210 Wavemeter a versatile tool for Telecom and near-infrared measurements. A 20-Hz update rate provides superior measurement response for time-sensitive measurements. For more complete measurements, the WM-1210 also provides relative power measurements of your input source. This adds extra flexibility for your application and provides you with the ultimate laser characterization tool.
Many test and measurement applications are located in manufacturing facilities. The WM-1210\'s robust design gives users peace of mind while working in these types of environments and our rack mount option allows for space-saving incorporation into existing systems.
