Burleigh WA-1000 & WA-1100 Optical Wavelength Meter – Expert Repair, Precision Service & NIST-Traceable Calibration
We provide specialized repair, maintenance, and calibration services for the Burleigh WA-1000 and WA-1100 Optical Wavelength Meters—precision instruments used in fiber optics, laser development, and optical component testing. Known for their high wavelength resolution and accuracy, these legacy devices remain critical for precise wavelength analysis in R&D and manufacturing settings. Our expert team offers deep technical experience in restoring, aligning, and calibrating these systems to meet original performance standards.
Complete Service Workflow for WA-1000 & WA-1100
Thorough Diagnostic Evaluation
Each unit begins with a full system diagnostic to evaluate:
Wavelength measurement accuracy and repeatability
Internal HeNe reference laser output and stability
Detector alignment and signal strength
Motorized tuning or scanning functionality
Display, control panel, and interface responsiveness
Communication interface (GPIB or RS232, where applicable)
We test using calibrated tunable lasers and known optical references to identify drift, instability, or electronic faults.
Common Issues We Repair
No optical signal or incorrect wavelength reading
Wavelength drift or repeatability issues
Degraded or failed internal HeNe laser source
Faulty detectors or low signal sensitivity
Motor or encoder failure in scanning interferometer
Power supply failure or noisy voltage rails
Display not functioning or control knobs unresponsive
Internal alignment issues causing signal loss or measurement error
Component-Level Repair & Replacement
We conduct board-level repair of analog and digital circuits, including:
Replacing aging capacitors, ICs, and voltage regulators
Repairing power supplies, detector amplifiers, and signal processing boards
Restoring display systems, user controls, and interface ports
All repairs are followed by functional testing to verify stability and accuracy.
Optical Realignment & HeNe Laser Service
We clean and realign the internal optical path, including the interferometer, collimators, and detectors. If the HeNe laser is aging or unstable, we replace the tube and realign the beam path for accurate referencing.
Firmware & Interface Validation
We test and verify serial or GPIB communication, ensuring the unit can be remotely controlled and interfaced with data systems. Internal memory values and calibration data are checked or reprogrammed as needed.
NIST-Traceable Calibration
After repairs, we perform a full NIST-traceable calibration:
Wavelength accuracy verified using certified reference lasers
Repeatability and scan resolution tested across the full range
Output data confirmed via both front panel and remote interfaces
A detailed calibration certificate with before/after results is provided with each unit.
