Optical Power Meter Basics | Power Meter for Optical testing
This page describes Optical Power Meter basics.It mentions Optical Power Meter Vendors or manufacturers.
• The device used to measure power of a optical signal is known as
Optical Power Meter.
• Different models are developed with different connector and fiber mode
(e.g. single mode or multimode) requirement.
• The wavelength switch is also incorporated in the design in order to adjust the
power measurement accuracy based on particular wavelength to be measured.
• In earlier power Sometimes power range switch is also provided.
Now-a-days this is avoided and it is done automatically using advanced signal
processing technologies. Refer Optical Bands for wavelength bands
used in fiber optic domain.
Now-a-days affordable Optical Spectrum Analyzers are also available for optical power measurement,
Refer Optical Spectrum Analyzer Basics➤ for more information.
