This unit
The Burleigh WA-7000 Multi-Line Wavemeter is a precision instrument for simultaneous measurement of multiple laser wavelengths using a scanning Michelson interferometer with Fast Fourier Transform analysis. A HeNe reference laser and advanced digital processing enable high-resolution spectral analysis and real-time wavelength monitoring across the telecom C and L bands. The instrument measures individual peak and total optical power, automatically calculates channel spacing and signal-to-noise ratios, and discriminates up to 200 discrete optical signals with exceptional accuracy.

Burleigh WA-7000 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Burleigh WA-7000. 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 Burleigh WA-7000 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.
