The ILX Lightwave OMH-6735 is an InGaAs wavehead designed for simultaneous optical power and wavelength measurement in the near-infrared spectrum. Engineered for use with ILX Lightwave optical power meters, this detector delivers high sensitivity and low noise performance across critical test applications. The integrating sphere measurement principle eliminates common sources of error—detector saturation, alignment sensitivity, beam profile dependence, polarization effects, and back reflection—enabling accurate, repeatable results from -40 to +30 dBm (100 nW to 1 W) power levels.
