Preface

The

MOGL

abs

MWM

wavemeter provides a compact, high resolution and

cost effective instrument for measuring the wavelength and spectrum of a
laser. The instrument can be operated standalone, and easily controlled
from a computer with a sophisticated host application or using simple text
commands, via

USB

and ethernet. The low price makes is affordable even

if you have just one laser to measure.

We hope that you find the

MWM

useful, and please let us know if you have

any suggestions for improvement of the

MWM

or this document, so that we

can make life in the lab better for all.
