[0002] In fiber optic systems, measuring optical power is fundamental, much like a multimeter in electronics. Optical power meters are a common and often used instrument for fiber optic measurements. By measuring the absolute power of a transmitter or optical network, an optical power meter can evaluate the performance of optical equipment. When used in conjunction with a stable light source, an optical power meter can measure connection loss, verify continuity, and help assess the transmission quality of a fiber optic link. However, existing optical power meters still have certain drawbacks, such as:
