What is optical power meters?

An optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power of light in an optical fiber or in free space. It typically consists of a calibrated sensor, such as a photodiode, and an amplifier circuit to convert the detected light into a measurable electrical signal. Optical power meters are commonly used to test and troubleshoot fiber optic networks, ensuring that the optical signal strength is within acceptable limits for proper system performance. They are also used in laser systems and other optical applications where precise power measurement is critical.
