Bristol Instruments unveils 238 Series Optical Wavelength Meters

Feb. 17, 2022
The meters feature an operational range from 700 to 1650 nm for precise wavelength characterization of tunable transmitter lasers, DFB lasers, and VCSELs used in such applications as communications, data storage, and 3D sensing.

Bristol Instruments says it now offers the 238 Series Optical Wavelength Meters. The meters feature an operational range from 700 to 1650 nm for precise wavelength characterization of tunable transmitter lasers, DFB lasers, and VCSELs used in such applications as communications, data storage, and 3D sensing.

The 238 Series comprises two models. Model 238A provides wavelength accuracy of ± 0.3 pm, which model 238B offers accuracy of ± 1.0 pm. Both instruments feature continuous calibration with a built-in laser wavelength standard, says Bristol. The test units’ rugged opto-mechanical design ensures long-term reliable operation, which Bristol backs with a five-year warranty.

“We are committed to expanding our product lines to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Nick George, marketing manager at Bristol Instruments. “With the addition of the 238 Optical Wavelength Meter, we offer broad wavelength coverage combined with the reliable accuracy that is a hallmark of Bristol’s products.”
