This unit
The Burleigh WA-7000C is a precision multi-wavelength meter for accurate optical measurement across the C- and L-bands. It employs a scanning Michelson interferometer referenced to a HeNe laser, with an embedded computer that processes interferometer output to deliver wavelength, power, and spectral data simultaneously. The instrument operates as a wavelength meter, power meter, and spectrum analyzer in one platform, making it essential for DWDM system characterization, laser source validation, and fiber optic network commissioning.

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