Coherent

Calibration

Facilities and

Capabilities

As the largest laser manufacturer in the world, Coherent

has been able to build state-of-the-art calibration facili-

ties containing the widest possible range of laser types

and technologies. This enables us to perform instrument

and sensor calibration under virtually any combination

of wavelength, power, and operating characteristics.

Sensors are calibrated against NIST-traceable working

standard sensors which are, in turn, calibrated against

NIST-calibrated golden standard sensors. These working

and golden standards are maintained with the utmost

care, recalibrated annually, and verified even more regu-

larly. We maintain multiple NIST-calibrated standards at

many laser wavelengths to support the growing calibra-

tion needs of our customers. Optical calibration is a core

competency at Coherent and we strive to continually

improve our methods, precision, and repeatability. Addi-

tionally, most of the calibrations are performed with

highly automated systems, thus reducing the possibility

of human error to nearly zero. Strict quality inspections

during many stages of calibration and testing assure a

precise and accurate instrument that is NIST traceable

and CE marked. The benefit to our customers is that

instruments calibrated by Coherent will consistently

perform as expected under their actual use conditions.

We are a registered ISO 9001:2000 company, our prod-

ucts are NIST traceable, and our calibration labs are fully

ANSI Z540 compliant.

In addition to the technological advantage, we also strive

to deliver the best service in the industry, with a knowl-

edgeable and responsive staff, and rapid turnaround.
