Optical power meters are calibrated to measure the light output accurately at designated wavelengths. Four of the commonly utilized OPM wavelength settings are 850nm and 1300nm for multimode fiber and 1310nm and 1550nm for single mode fiber. A typical OPM is linear from about 0 dBm (1 milli Watt) to about -50 dBm (10 nano Watt), although the display range may be larger. Below -50 dBm is "low power", and specially adapted. Keysight optical power meters measure optical signal strength, providing multi-channel measurement processing and system control while offering rapid response times, wide dynamic range, and simple integration into automated test setups.
