About

The University of Birmingham awarded a contract to HighFinesse GmbH for the supply and installation of a wavemeter.

The device measures wavelengths between 413nm and 922nm with 2MHz accuracy and <1MHz resolution, supports internal or user-provided calibration, and features fibre-coupled input via FC/PC or FC/APC connectors.

It can simultaneously measure eight or more input channels and generate error signals or PID feedback loops for at least four channels to stabilise wavelengths.

The device dimensions are close to or less than 500mm x 400mm x 300mm.

The contract value was £76,209, with funding potentially from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF), or Research Councils UK (RCUK).
