Laser Wavelength Meter
Bristol Instruments, Inc.  Request Info
The best way to determine the absolute wavelength of CW lasers is with the 621 Series Laser Wavelength Meter. This system provides real-time wavelength information measured to an accuracy as high as ± 0.2 parts per million. This accuracy is guaranteed by continuous calibration with a built-in wavelength standard which ensures the reliable accuracy that is needed to generate the most meaningful experimental results.

Trends in Lasers: Greater Speed, More Power and New Materials
For lasers, the trends are fast and powerful – literally. Shorter pulse widths and greater power are future directions for the technology. On the horizon are new lasing materials and new concepts to produce laserlike light sources. The outcome of these advances could be more efficient, less wasteful manufacturing as well as systems that consume less energy.
