The Burleigh WA-7100 Multi-Line Wavemeter is a high-precision instrument for simultaneous measurement of multiple laser wavelengths across the 1270 nm to 1680 nm band. Built on scanning Michelson interferometer technology with a built-in HeNe laser standard, it delivers absolute wavelength accuracy of ±1.5 pm and 0.001 nm display resolution. The system measures up to 256 discrete optical signals and calculates OSNR, channel spacing, and provides full optical spectrum display for DWDM system analysis.
