An optical power meter (OPM) measures the power levels of light signals in devices that transmit data or power using light. The term usually refers to a device used for measuring the average power in fiber optic systems. To augment the absolute power measurements NIST provides nonlinearity, spectral responsivity, and uniformity measurements. We explain the measurement standards, systems, methods, and uncertainties related to. OPM interface: insert the fiber to be tested, test the optical power. REF/dB key: Short press the dB to switch unit, click once nW/dBm/dB to enter the upper clear data, press and hold until REF is displayed on the screen, and set the current optical power as reference value, enter the relative.
