The Anritsu MG9601A is a wavelength calibration standard that delivers precise spectral line generation for verifying optical measurement equipment. It combines a He-Ne gas laser with four types of lamps to produce calibration wavelengths across multiple spectral regions. Individual control of each light source enables flexible operation and extended instrument lifetime, allowing continued use even after a single source reaches end of life. Spectral lines are output directly to optical connectors for direct integration with optical spectrum analyzers and monochromators requiring accurate wavelength verification.
