Hand-Held Optical Power Meter Delivers Small Weight And Is Easy To
Carry
A handheld optical power meter is an instrument used to measure
optical power or the relative loss of optical power through a
section of optical fiber, which plays a crucial role in the
maintenance, testing and optimization of optical fiber systems.
The handheld optical power meter (optical power meter) is a
commonly used test tool in optical fiber communication systems. It
can measure the output power of optical end devices, evaluate the
performance of optical end devices, and by combining with stable
light sources, measure connection losses, check continuity, and
evaluate the transmission quality of optical fiber links.
Working principle
The operating principle of the handheld optical power meter is
based on the photoelectric effect or the thermal effect. When the
optical signal enters the detector of the optical power meter, the
detector converts the optical signal into an electrical signal,
which is amplified and processed through the internal circuit, and
finally displays the measurement result in digital form on the
display screen. Part of the handheld laser power meter is through
the laser beam and the measuring device contact, a part of the
laser energy is absorbed and converted into heat energy, and then
use the temperature change measured by the sensor to calculate the
laser power value.

Usage scenario
The handheld optical power meter is widely used in the
installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of optical fiber
communication systems. For example, during fiber laying, a handheld
optical power meter can be used to measure the attenuation of the
fiber. During the maintenance of optical fiber equipment, the
performance state of the equipment can be evaluated by measuring
the optical power. During troubleshooting, a handheld optical power
meter can be used in combination with a stable light source to
quickly locate the fault point.
