I.

BACKGROUND: The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) requires a High Finesse WS8-2 with an eight-channel switch (MCLC8) to improve the accuracy and precision of wavelength measurements in the laboratory. As research continues to progress, the need to obtain reliable measurements to the next significant figure becomes far more crucial. With the HF-ANGS WS8-2 MCLC8, students and research scientists in the laboratory will be able to record data of +/-2 MHz with absolute certainty of the accuracy of this value. This will pave the way for more precise measurements of wavelengths in many important branches of physics research including Spectroscopy, Laser Engineering, Non-Linear Optics, and Radiometry that are crucial research topics for past and potential future sponsors of AFIT including AFRL, US Space Force, NRO, NASIC, NSIC, DARPA, and MDA. This wavemeter comes with the ability to measure eight different wavelengths simultaneously, which will be beneficial given current research in B640 L140 often contains measuring multiple wavelengths of light through processes such as fluorescence and frequency summing. As research continues to advance, students need this wavemeter to continue to push the frontier of science and gain valuable knowledge for improving the nation’s multi-billion dollar per year optical communication and sensing industries. As a result, this world-class wavemeter is essential in providing students with the latest cuttingedge technology in measuring wavelengths of light for improving the impact of their research projects at AFIT and their knowledge that will impact all government branches for decades to come.
