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. Above 0 dBm is considered "high power", and specially adapted units may measure up to nearly + 30 dBm ( 1 Watt). Irrespective of power meter specifications, testing below about -50 dBm tends to be sensitive to stray ambient light leaking into fibers or connectors.

A traditional optical power meter responds to a broad spectrum of light, however, the calibration is wavelength dependent.

Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called,, power meters (can be sensors or ), or lux meters.

Power on the OTDR and verify the battery is charged and the test display is functioning. Clean and inspect the ends of all fibers under test, launch cables, connectors, and adapters. Accurately testing an optical transceiver means proving two things: that the module is emitting the right power at the right wavelength, and that the link it's attached to delivers that signal without unexpected loss or reflections. It provides valuable information about fiber length, loss, and the location of events like splices and connectors. Even minor deviations—whether too high, too low, or unstable—can impact signal integrity, trigger service alarms, or interrupt traffic on DWDM, OTN, or long-haul optical line systems.
