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.

An optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an optical signal. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers, photometers, laser power meters (can be photodiode sensors or thermopile laser sensors), light meters or lux meters. Additionally, these may be used with attenuating elements for high optical power testing, or wavelengt.

Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called,, power meters (can be sensors or ), or lux meters. The power meter does not evaluate signal quality, dispersion, reflections, or error rates. It measures only total received optical energy within the detector's acceptance bandwidth. A fiber-optic power meter is a quantitative measurement instrument, not a diagnostic tool by itself. But once you understand its basic principles, it will become your most powerful tool.
