Function of High-Sensitivity Optical Power Meter
When combined with a light source, the instrument is called an Optical Loss Test Set, or OLTS, and is typically used to measure optical power and end-to-end optical loss. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers, photometers, laser power. 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. An optical power meter measures the photon energy in the form of current or voltage from an optical detector such as a semiconductor, a thermopile, or a pyroelectric detector.
