BS EN 62522:2014 PDF

What is BS EN 62522 - Calibration of tunable laser sources about?

Lasers are widely used in laser printers, optical disc drives, fibre-optic, barcode scanners, DNA sequencing instruments, military and law enforcement, laser surgery and skin treatments, semiconducting chip manufacturing, free-space optical communication, cutting and welding materials and devices for marking targets and measuring. BS EN 62522 discusses terms, definitions, abbreviations, preparation for calibration, wavelength calibration, optical power calibration and documentation related to tunable laser sources. BS EN 62522 provides a stable and reproducible procedure to calibrate the wavelength and power output of a tunable laser against reference instrumentation such as optical power meters and optical wavelength meters (including optical frequency meters) that have been previously traceably calibrated.
