Function of Optical Power Meters for Fiber Optic Protection

Home / Function of Optical Power Meters for Fiber Optic Protection

An optical power meter is an electronic device that measures the power of an optical signal. It helps engineers verify the performance of optical fiber systems, ensuring that the signal strength meets requirements, and is an essential tool for communication network maintenance and. In fiber testing, the result is usually displayed as dBm for absolute optical power or dB for relative loss. An OPM uses a photodiode to generate an electrical current proportional to optical power.
