What frequency is typically selected for an optical power meter
The frequency detected by an optical power meter typically refers to the frequency of a modulated test tone used for fiber identification and continuity testing, not a property of the meter itself. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers, photometers, laser power. Understanding this becomes really important when measuring power levels since different wavelengths get absorbed differently by materials, which affects. When all are ready, attach the optical power meter to the cable at the receiver to measure receiver power, or to a short test cable that is attached to the system.
