Laser ComponentsThe Compact Wavemeter

The WaveEye is a compact and yet highly precise wavelength measuring device for the spectral range from 450 nm to 950 nm.

The WaveEye is a highly accurate and very compact wavemeter. The
innovative internal design makes it faster, easier to operate and much
smaller than competing products. The input light can be CW and
quasi-CW laserlight or incoherent light with a narrow spectrum.
Wavelength data is available at a 1 kHz data rate, with no warm-up
delay.
The WaveEye is operated with a USB cable via the supplied software
interface or via text-based commands. In addition, the wavelength
information is available as a voltage at the analog output.
Due to its extremely small size, the WaveEye is ideally suited as an OEM
component, e.g. in tunable lasers, as part of a larger measurement
device and in a wide range of other applications.
