1. Used to measure absolute optical power or the relative loss of optical power through a section of optical fiber. Measuring optical power is fundamental in fiber optic systems, much like using a multimeter in electronics. In fiber optic measurements, the optical power meter is a commonly used and demanding instrument.
Function of power meter
1. Used to measure absolute optical power or the relative loss of optical power through a section of optical fiber. Measuring optical power is fundamental in fiber optic systems, much like using a multimeter in electronics. In fiber optic measurements, the optical power meter is a commonly used and demanding instrument.
2. By measuring the absolute power of the transmitter or optical network, an optical power meter can evaluate the performance of optical terminal equipment. When used in conjunction with a stable light source, an optical power meter can measure connection loss, verify continuity, and help assess the transmission quality of fiber optic links.
Power meter operation steps
1. Connect the probe and the main unit using a cable.
2. After powering on and preheating, connect the probe to the main unit's calibration source and press the calibration button to calibrate.
3. After calibration, remove the probe and place it at the test point for frequency measurement.
