Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)
The Ophir WaveStar introduces a new level of accuracy and ease in spectral measurements. Just plug into your PC parallel port, install the software and easily and accurately measure spectra from a wide variety of sources including continuous and pulsed sources from microwatts to watts in intensity. The program automatically tags the peaks with the wavelength so the result is readily available.



The WaveStar comes with interchangeable filters which together with the variable shutter speed allows you to easily and accurately measure any type of source from fractions of a microwatt to watts in intensity. Fiber adapters are available to connect to fiber sources.

The WaveStar has up to 4 times as high resolution as similar competing instruments due to its innovative optical design (patent applied for). Its innovative peak interpolation algorithms allow you to find the peak wavelengths of lines at up to 10 times the accuracy of competing instruments and at the same time much greater ease. The built in intensity calibration insures that the relative intensity vs. wavelength gives an accurate relative curve. This is especially important when measuring broadband sources such as lamps.
