The ILX Lightwave OMH-6795B is a Power/Wavehead that simultaneously measures optical power and detects wavelength for use with the OMM-6810B Optical Multimeter. The integrating sphere design delivers polarization-dependent response of ±0.002 dB across its full dynamic range. A fiber light exit port supports precise external measurements, while an included fiber tap enables connection to optical spectrum analyzers for spectral analysis of high-power sources.
