Improved calibration of optical wavelength measuring instruments. In a first embodiment, improved calibration is achieved in an optical wavelength measuring instrument by performing calibration measurements at a plurality of known wavelengths and using an average calibration constant derived from the plurality of measurements. In a second embodiment, improved calibration is achieved by performing calibration measurements at a plurality of known wavelengths and calculating a linear or higher order calibration model, or a periodic model. These approaches may be extended by segmenting the wavelength range and using different calculated calibration values, or different calibration models, for each segment.
