HP 10717A Wavelength Tracker

The HP 10717A tracks changes in the air's index of refraction to optically compensate for environmental changes. It is one component of a family of interferometer systems that can be tailored to the unique physical layout and measurement requirements of each application.

Configured with appropriate laser head and system electronics, HP optics products build precise positioning systems providing the highest positioning accuracy, resolution, and repeatability.
