This unit
The Yokogawa AQ6150B is a precision optical wavelength meter designed for accurate characterization of light sources and components across the 900 nm to 1700 nm spectrum. Built for telecommunications, component manufacturing, and research environments, it delivers wavelength measurements with ±0.01 nm accuracy and 0.001 nm resolution in under half a second per point. The instrument accepts optical signals from -70 dBm to +20 dBm, making it suitable for both weak and moderate-power sources.
Its color LCD touchscreen provides intuitive operation, while USB, LAN, and optional GPIB connectivity enable integration into automated test systems and remote monitoring workflows. Wavelength stability of ±0.005 nm/hour ensures repeatable results across extended measurement sessions.

Yokogawa AQ6150B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Yokogawa AQ6150B. 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 Yokogawa AQ6150B 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.
