Service & Repair of Burleigh WA-1100 Optical Wavelength Meter

Burleigh WA-1000 & WA-1100 Optical Wavelength Meter – Expert Repair, Precision Service & NIST-Traceable Calibration

We provide specialized repair, maintenance, and calibration services for the Burleigh WA-1000 and WA-1100 Optical Wavelength Meters—precision instruments used in fiber optics, laser development, and optical component testing. Known for their high wavelength resolution and accuracy, these legacy devices remain critical for precise wavelength analysis in R&D and manufacturing settings. Our expert team offers deep technical experience in restoring, aligning, and calibrating these systems to meet original performance standards.

Complete Service Workflow for WA-1000 & WA-1100

Thorough Diagnostic Evaluation
Each unit begins with a full system diagnostic to evaluate:

• Wavelength measurement accuracy and repeatability

• Internal HeNe reference laser output and stability

• Detector alignment and signal strength

• Motorized tuning or scanning functionality

• Display, control panel, and interface responsiveness

• Communication interface (GPIB or RS232, where applicable)

We test using calibrated tunable lasers and known optical references to identify drift, instability, or electronic faults.

Common Issues We Repair

• No optical signal or incorrect wavelength reading

• Wavelength drift or repeatability issues

• Degraded or failed internal HeNe laser source

• Faulty detectors or low signal sensitivity

• Motor or encoder failure in scanning interferometer

• Power supply failure or noisy voltage rails

• Display not functioning or control knobs unresponsive

• Internal alignment issues causing signal loss or measurement error

Component-Level Repair & Replacement
We conduct board-level repair of analog and digital circuits, including:

• Replacing aging capacitors, ICs, and voltage regulators

• Repairing power supplies, detector amplifiers, and signal processing boards

• Restoring display systems, user controls, and interface ports
  All repairs are followed by functional testing to verify stability and accuracy.

Optical Realignment & HeNe Laser Service
We clean and realign the internal optical path, including the interferometer, collimators, and detectors. If the HeNe laser is aging or unstable, we replace the tube and realign the beam path for accurate referencing.

Firmware & Interface Validation
We test and verify serial or GPIB communication, ensuring the unit can be remotely controlled and interfaced with data systems. Internal memory values and calibration data are checked or reprogrammed as needed.

NIST-Traceable Calibration
After repairs, we perform a full NIST-traceable calibration:

• Wavelength accuracy verified using certified reference lasers

• Repeatability and scan resolution tested across the full range

• Output data confirmed via both front panel and remote interfaces
  A detailed calibration certificate with before/after results is provided with each unit.
