The Newport PTS-FOWM Fiber Optic Wavelength Meter Module delivers precision wavelength measurement for fiber optic signals across DWDM applications. Built on an internal scanning Michelson interferometer architecture, this module achieves ±15 ppm absolute accuracy and integrates directly into Newport’s Photonics Test System mainframes. It supports both direct fiber input and free-space coupling, with flexible connector options, making it ideal for laser characterization, long-term stability assessment, and wavelength calibration of tunable sources and test equipment.
