  • What is the measurement mode of an optical power meter

    What is the measurement mode of an optical power meter

    An optical power meter measures the photon energy in the form of current or voltage from an optical detector such as a semiconductor, a thermopile, or a pyroelectric detector. The term usually refers to a device used for measuring the average power in fiber optic systems. 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. An OPM uses a photodiode to generate an electrical current proportional to optical power.
