What is a Laser Wavelength Meter?
A wavelength meter is a crucial tool for precisely measuring light wavelengths, especially in laser applications. Used extensively in scientific, industrial, and technological fields, it typically works on interferometry, such as with a Michelson interferometer, to split and recombine light beams, analyzing the resulting interference pattern for accurate wavelength determination. Some models also utilize spectrometric methods, separating light into various components to measure intensity across different wavelengths.
Wavelength Meter Features
These meters are known for their high precision and accuracy, often measuring wavelengths to fractions of a nanometer or picometers. They can handle a broad range of wavelengths, making them suitable for various laser types and applications. Additionally, their ability to provide rapid measurements is crucial in dynamic settings or when working with pulsed lasers.
Industries
Wavelength meters are used in several industries, such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and more. They are also used for scientific research and in industrial settings for quality control of laser-based processes.
