The OMM-6810B is an accurate, low noise power meter capable of measuring optical power over an 80dB 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 a single, easy to use instrument. Power/Waveheads offer up to 10W of optical power measurement with wavelength measurement accuracies from several tenths of a nanometer to one nanometer. For spectral measurements of high power sources, a fiber tap is included on the OMH-6790B Power/Wavehead to allow convenient connection to an optical spectrum analyzer.

Power & Wavelength heads combine precision power measurement with ILX’s unique power and wavelength capability, based on integrating sphere technology, to deliver a cost-effective laser diode measurement tool. The integrating sphere measurement method simplifies optical power measurements of laser diodes and LEDs by eliminating measurement problems related to detector saturation, alignment beam profile, polarization, and back reflection. Since these heads measure wavelength, they have the unique capability to "self-calibrate" the wavelength dependent response of the detector. There is no need to enter a wavelength for an accurate power measurement; the instrument does it automatically by sensing the wavelength. This allows the OMM 6810B with one of the power/waveheads to act like a spectrally flat thermal detector.
