Title: Optical Wavemeters
Post by: Bryan on 06-18-2013 -- 12:09:07
I measure wavelength in the 600-1650 nm range, my Advantest TQ8325 has develope a malfunction & is no longer supported, curious what others are using?
Advantest did sell a Q8326 which I presume was a follow on model.  Anritsu made the MF9630A but it doesn't show up on their site, Agilent makes the 86120B, it appears current and there is a company called ADCMT that broke off from Advantest making the 8471 and I found another comapnay called Bristol Instruments that makes some.  Looking for any input regarding your experiences with support or other suggestions from similar products with support at present.  TIA.

we use spectrophotometers, Spectronic was purchase by Thermo scientific and they made the best, other companies besides agilent are Beckman  and shumatso.  all are good
