  • Optical power meter emits its own light

    Optical power meter emits its own light

    Power meters are calibrated using a traceable calibration standard. A traditional optical power meter responds to a broad spectrum of light, however, the calibration is wavelength dependent. This is not normally an issue, since the test wavelength is usually known, but has some drawbacks.OverviewAn optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an signal. The term usually refers to a device for testing average power in systems. Other general purpose light power measuring. The major types are (Si), (Ge) and (InGaAs). Additionally, these may be used with attenuating elements for high optical power testing, or wavelengt. A typical OPM is linear from about 0 dBm (1 milli Watt) to about -50 dBm (10 nano Watt), although the display range may be larger. Above 0 dBm is considered "high power", and specially adapted units may measure u.
