How to Measure Fiber Loss with Optical Power Meter and Light Source
Simply put, optical power is the "brightness" or "intensity" of light. In optical fiber networks, the units of optical power are often expressed in milliwatts (mw) and decibel milliwatts (dbm).
Measuring Intensity
This value is equivalent to the total energy output of the lamp. Because a vast majority of applications use light in a defined area, from a specified direction and distance, lighting designers are trained to
