What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn optical meter measures light delivered to a detector and converts the detector response into displayed measurement values.
A dual-channel optical meter can support simultaneous measurements on separate channels so that more than one optical signal can be observed at the same time.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn optical power meter sits in metrology and test workflows where optical sources, detectors, or fiber-optic components are evaluated.
A meter in this class is used downstream of the optical source and detector connection so that emitted or delivered light can be quantified before final device qualification.
