APE WaveScan Laserspectrometer

Inside WaveScan

The WaveScan is an easy to use, high resolution device for spectral analysis of cw and mode-locked laser systems. With its resolution down to 0.2 nm (depending on the wavelength range), it offers greater precision compared to standard compact grating / CCD based spectrometers.

While offering fast measurement capabilities with high resolution, it is also an ideal alignment tool because of its high scan rates. The WaveScan is available in different versions covering scan ranges from 250 to 2600 nm.

Features

High resolution
Measurements in the extended IR with high resolution beyond range of Si based detectors
RS232 interface with supplied Windows software¹⁾
Fiber input (optional)
Compact design

^{1) In case of delivery with a PulseCheck, no extra LasScan software is supplied. The functialily is provided via the PulseCheck interface and implemented in the PulseCheck Windows software.}
