Optical Power Meter (OPM)

An optical power meter (OPM) is a device that measures the power of light signals in systems that use light to transmit data or power. It's a vital tool for fiber optic technicians, as it can measure the power of fiber optic devices like cables, light sources, and lasers. It's also used in telecommunications and laser manufacturing to ensure the safety and performance of optical systems.

An OPM typically has a calibrated sensor, measuring amplifier, and display. The sensor usually contains a photodiode that's chosen for the right range of wavelengths and power levels. OPMs can also have electronic outputs, such as analog or digital interfaces. Analog outputs may have a BNC socket, where the output voltage is usually proportional to the output power. Digital interfaces can be more versatile, allowing for more functionality on a computer, such as data logging.

OPMs provide important data on signal strength and loss, which helps technicians determine the reliability and overall performance of the optical network. They're also essential for installing, testing, maintaining, and troubleshooting fiber optic systems.
