Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers photometers laser power meters can be photodiode sensors or thermopile laser sensors light meters or lux meters.
Fiber optic power meter calibration.
Otdr s optical time domain reflectometer is an especially useful piece of test equipment used in the fiber optic industry.
All test equipment that makes a quantitative measurement requires periodic calibration.
An optical power meter is the most common type of test equipment used to support fiber optic system.
Nist developed a testing system to provide absolute power calibrations for optical power meters.
The consoles pm100 pm400 and pm300 series when paired with our extensive line of power and energy sensors provide calibrated nist traceable.
Fiber optic equipment calibration maintenance services.
Make sure all connectors and fiber optic adapters are clean.
From 350 to 1650 nm in 5 nm steps power range 22 to 60 dbm 158 mw to 1 nw with least uncertainty of 0 06 db 1 4 and with wavelength accuracy of 0 5 nm using non coherent light.

When it comes to calibration it is not enough to state that an instrument complies with published specifications.
The importance of calibrating and maintaining test equipment.
A good fiber optic tool makes the difference.
The term usually refers to a device for testing average power in fiber optic systems.
An optical power meter opm is a device used to measure the power in an optical signal.
Today there is an ever increasing demand on new as well as existing fiber optic networks.
To perform optical linearity measurement on fiber optic power meters connect the light source to the variable attenuator with an appropriate patchcord.
Fiber optic testing has become forefront in today s applications.
These measurements are accomplished using either collimated beam or connectorized fiber configurations at the three principle wavelength regions.
Thorlabs expanding line of optical power and energy meters includes power meter consoles a large selection of sensor heads a wireless power meter with a built in photodiode sensor and a fiber optic power meter designed for use in the field.
This particular piece of equipment will help you determine the quality of a fiber optic network.
All of our calibrations are traceable to the national institute of standards and technology nist.
For higher power measurements an optional optical amplifier can be used.
