Exfo-Burleigh WA-1650 Wavemeter Optical Wavelength Meter

The Exfo-Burleigh WA-1650 Wavemeter Optical Wavelength Meter is designed for simple, automatic and accurate wavelength measurements of continuous wave (CW) and modulated laser sources.The WA-1650 features microprocessor-based electronics for accurate calculation and analysis of interference fringes. The microprocessor calculates the refractive index of the air using data from the built-in temperature and pressure sensors to automatically correct it, and converts the resulting measurements to nm or GHz units. The microprocessor also enables the WA-1650 to calculate and display the deviation of the measured wavelength from the starting point, or to calculate the average of up to 128 measurements.

Key features.

• Accurate characterization of active and passive DWDM components

• Highest guaranteed absolute wavelength accuracy

• Continuous calibration with built-in HeNe laser wavelength standard

• Maximum measurement update rate of 10 Hz
