NIST SRM-2517a High Resolution Wavelength Calibration Reference Standard 1510-1540nm Acetylene Atomic Absorption LinesUsed see photos.Includes Calibration device, certificate of Analysis (non-expiring/permanent), example spectra, and OEM box and packaging. FC/PC connectors. Purpose: SRM 2517a is designed for calibrating the wavelength scale of instruments, particularly in the optical fiber communication region (1510-1540 nm). Material: It consists of a single-mode optical-fiber-coupled absorption cell containing acetylene gas at a pressure of 6.7 kPa (50 Torr). Key Feature: The use of lower acetylene pressure (compared to SRM 2517) results in narrower absorption lines, enabling higher resolution and accuracy in wavelength calibration. Applications: It can be used to calibrate narrowband tunable lasers or lower-resolution devices like optical spectrum analyzers. Absorption Lines: Acetylene has over 50 accurately measured absorption lines within the specified wavelength range. Standa
