What it is
The JDSU OLP-55 is a portable optical power meter. The OLP-55 operates over wavelengths from 780 nm to 1700 nm depending on the model. The meter supports 900 calibrated wavelengths. The detector type is either Germanium (Ge) or InGaAs. The power measurement range extends from -80 dBm to +30 dBm depending on the model. The maximum input power ranges from +15 dBm to +30 dBm depending on the model. The measurement error is between 0.2 dB and 0.5 dB.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn optical power meter works by converting incoming light into an electrical current using a photodetector. The photodetector material determines the spectral response of the meter. The instrument then measures the current and displays the optical power in units such as dBm or watts.
