OMM-6810B Newport Optical Multimeter

The ILX Lightwave OMM-6810B is an accurate, low-noise power meter capable of measuring optical power over an 80 dB dynamic range, and offers the stability and repeatability necessary for precise power measurement. Packed with other features, including a simple wavelength measurement technique developed at ILX Lightwave, the OMM-6810B becomes the only power meter to measure wavelength and power in one easy to use instrument. Power/Waveheads offer up to 10 W of optical power measurement with wavelength measurement accuracies down to ±0.2 nm. For spectral measurements of high power sources, a fiber tap is included on the OMH-6780B, 6790B and 6795B Power/Waveheads, to allow convenient connection to an optical spectrum analyzer.

The OMH-6700B Series Optical Measurement Heads, when coupled with the OMM-6810B Optical Multimeter, provide the flexibility to easily and accurately measure the optical power of most laser diode sources available today, including short wavelength lasers, higher power pump and fiber laser diodes. In addition, Power/Waveheads are available that measure the power-averaged wavelength of these same laser light sources.

Choose from power only or power and wavelength measurement heads to cover a source wavelength range of 350 to 1650 nm and optical power from −85 dB to + 40 dB. Power/Waveheads use proven and efficient integrating sphere technology for both free space measurements and fiber measurements. All measurement heads can be configured for the most common fiber optic connectors including FC, LC, ST, SC, bare fiber and Ericcson bare fiber clip holder.

The OMM-6810B can be intuitively operated from the front-panel or via the standard GPIB interface. Optical power can be read on the left-hand display in either linear or logarithmic units, while wavelength is displayed on the right-hand display in either nanometers or wavenumbers. Both 5-digit, green LED displays are easy to view-even with safety goggles on.
