In The Spotlight: Optical Power Meters

All of the Advanced Fiber Solutions power meters are the perfect tools for measuring optical power, loss (attenuation) and optical return loss in any system, it is just a matter of picking the right instrument for the application. All meters are calibrated at industry standard wavelengths (NIST traceable) for both single mode and multimode transmitters. When paired with an OS400 series source the OM100 & OM200 series meters are ideal for single-mode (OS430 laser source) or multimode (OS420 LED source) applications.

OM100 Series

The OM100 series meters are a low cost series of power meters for the technician who wants a high performance meter.

The OM110 power meter is designed for POF (plastic optical fiber) and short    wavelength applications. The OM110 optimizes a Silicon detector suitable for large core fibers. It is the ideal tool for working with shorter wavelengths whether the system is glass, plastic or multimode fibers. 

The OM120 is a general-purpose power meter suitable for a both premise and outside plant applications. These units are ideal for measurement of optical power and optical loss/attenuations in a fiber optic network.

The OM130 power meter is designed for high power optical systems and CATV applications. AFS offers two high power meters with two different dynamic range windows. The OM130 optimizes a high power Germanium detector with a dynamic window of +20 dBm to –30 dBm.

OM200 Series

The OM200 series Fiber Optic Power Meter has the same high performance as the OM100 series with the added advantage of a user selectable choice of 0.1 or 0.01 resolution, on board memory and a serial port connection for communication with a PC.
