Agilent / Keysight 86122C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight 86122C. Calibration covers absolute wavelength accuracy at multiple reference points across the full measurement range, frequency accuracy, wavenumber accuracy, and multi-wavelength channel spacing measurement accuracy. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Agilent / Keysight 86122C faults: interferometer alignment drift, reference etalon or HeNe laser end-of-life, InGaAs detector sensitivity loss, fiber input connector damage. Fizeau interferometer-based instruments (Agilent 86120B/86122A/C) most commonly develop interferometer alignment drift and InGaAs detector degradation over time. Burleigh WA-series scanning Fabry-Perot instruments most commonly fail due to reference HeNe laser end-of-life. Both types are fully repairable with post-repair wavelength accuracy verification.
