Laser specifications inevitably change over time due to aging parts, malfunctions, contaminants on the optics, and environmental effects. They are also affected by the surrounding environmental conditions and the optical components that guide the beam to its delivery point. Ensure optimal performance of your laser application by measuring your laser with Gentec-EO accuracy.

A new type of spectrometer is designed for broad spectral coverage, short acquisition times, and high spectral resolution—and it captures electronic, vibrational, and rotational excitations with a single measurement.
