Description
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking a laser wavelength meter for measuring laser frequency with an accuracy at the 10 MHz level. The meter must be capable of frequency stabilizing multiple lasers simultaneously. The required specifications include a measurement range from 330 nm to 1180 nm, measurement accuracy +/- 10 MHz or better over 375 nm to 1180 nm, and a wavelength resolution of 200 kHz or better. The meter should also have a photonic crystal fiber (endlessly single mode) 1x8 switch integrated, allowing for simultaneous reading of up to 8 laser inputs without accuracy degradation. Other requirements include PID frequency stabilization capability, USB control, and GUI software interface. The meter must maintain performance specifications over an air pressure range of 440-900 mm Hg and temperature range of 0-40 C.
Key features and requirements of the laser wavelength meter include:
• Measurement range from 330 nm to 1180 nm
• Measurement accuracy +/- 10 MHz or better over 375 nm to 1180 nm
• Wavelength resolution: 200 kHz or better
• Photonic Crystal Fiber (endlessly single mode) 1x8 switch integrated
• PID frequency stabilization capability for locking up to 8 laser inputs simultaneously
• USB control and GUI software interface
• Must maintain performance specifications over an air pressure range of 440-900 mm Hg and temperature range of 0-40 C
