Laser Power and Energy Instrument Calibrations
The Applied Physics Division currently provides calibration services (NIST Store) or instruments used with the lasers, wavelengths, and power ranges shown in the following table. These are not limiting but are presented to demonstrate the wide scope of capability offered—if you need it we can figure out a way to make it happen or can advise on other options and opportunities. Other laser wavelengths, power, and energy levels are available upon request and we can readily accommodate your source along with your instrument. Custom configurations are routine for our laboratories. We would like to encourage you to reach out to our technical staff Matthew.Spidell [at] nist.gov (Matthew[dot]Spidell[at]nist[dot]gov), Kyle.Rogers [at] nist.gov (Kyle[dot]Rogers[at]nist[dot]gov), Sonia.Buckley [at] nist.gov (Sonia[dot]Buckley[at]nist[dot]gov), and Brian.Simonds [at] nist.gov (Brian[dot]Simonds[at]nist[dot]gov) for additional information and see the services and fees on the Calibrations Storefront.
