Thursday, September 29, 2016
An optical power meter measures the photon energy in the form of current or voltage from an optical detector. Newport’s 1936/2936-R Series Optical Power Meters are among the most versatile power meters in the market, and the electronics adapt to a number of signal measurement tasks: DC current or voltage, AC peak-to-peak current or pulse voltage, or integrated DC current or voltage signals. In this white paper, basic power meter design principles are reviewed to help the user properly use the power meter for the most accurate measurements.
