Ultra High-Resolution Laser Spectrum Analyzer

ZOOM UHR is a Ultra High-Resolution laser spectrum analyzer, which features an exceptional spectral resolution up to
1.6 GHz and enables to perform both spectra, wavelength and linewidth measurements in real-time!

Thanks to this Ultra High-Resolution laser spectrum analyzer, laser manufacturers or integrators and scientific labs will have the ability to simultaneously measure with a high level of performance three key parameters of their lasers with a single tool. Its compact package even enables integration inside laser systems.
