This unit
The ILX Lightwave OMH-6795B is a Power/Wavehead that simultaneously measures optical power and detects wavelength for use with the OMM-6810B Optical Multimeter. The integrating sphere design delivers polarization-dependent response of ±0.002 dB across its full dynamic range. A fiber light exit port supports precise external measurements, while an included fiber tap enables connection to optical spectrum analyzers for spectral analysis of high-power sources.

ILX Lightwave OMH-6795B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the ILX Lightwave OMH-6795B. Calibration covers detector responsivity across all specified wavelengths (typically 800-1700 nm range), absolute power accuracy, and EEPROM calibration coefficient update. Compatible with Agilent/HP 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B mainframes.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common ILX Lightwave OMH-6795B faults: FC/PC connector damage, EEPROM failure (mainframe shows unrecognized sensor), reduced responsivity. Common faults include FC/PC input connector damage, EEPROM failure causing the module to appear unrecognized by the mainframe, and reduced detector responsivity from contamination.
