Window Material (Removable)
a. Limited by the bandwidth of the detectors and the optics.
b. For a single mode FC/PC-terminated patch cable at an operating temperature of 20 °C to 30 ºC.
c. Specified in parts per million, which corresponds to nearly seven significant figures (depending on the specification).
For instance, if the wavelength being measured is 1 µm, the Wavelength Meter Precision will be 200 fm.
d. Spectral Precision is the repeatability with which a spectral feature can be measured using the Peak Track tool.
e. Measured in Wavelength meter mode (linewidth <10 GHz), see Section 4.5.
f. Can be set from 0 - 9 decimals and has an automatic option that estimates the relevant number of decimals.
g. Using the same input single mode fiber for all measurements.
h. Limited by the damage threshold of the internal components.
i. Specified using Absolute Power Mode, Zero Fill = 2, and Hann apodization at an operating temperature of 20 °C to
30 °C.
k. See Section 4.8.
l. Minimum detectable power per nanometer using using Zero Fill = 0 and the highest resolution and sensitivity settings.
m. Connectors for other fiber input receptacles are available upon request. Contact techsupport@thorlabs.com for
details.
Each specification is valid for a single mode FC/PC-terminated patch cable, as well as for a collimated free-space beam
with diameter <3 mm and divergence <3 mrad, assuming the included protective window is installed in the free-space
aperture.
