Accurate optical power meters for –60 to +10 dBm, 750–1700 nm. Ideal for PICs, CPOs, automated testing, and general optical applications. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers, photometers, laser power. What is an optical power meter? An optical power meter (OPM) measures the power levels of light signals in devices that transmit data or power using light. The term "optical power meter" may sound generic, but in popular usage, it specifically implies a fiber optic power meter. It details the main components, including sensor heads and display units, and explains the two primary sensor technologies: robust thermal sensors for high powers and. The OPM 510 and 520 are available in standard and high-power versions for the Telco and MSO markets. The OPM510 and OPM520 supports wavelengths of 850, 980, 1270 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, 1577, 1623 and 1650nm. The rugged enclosure provides confidence when testing singlemode and multimode networks.
