  • Different optical power meter errors

    Different optical power meter errors

    Fluctuating optical power often results in: Common root causes include connector contamination, bending loss, or poor mechanical contact. Low power or unstable OSNR forces Forward Error Correction to work harder. Often, users assume that the rated calibration uncertainty of the Newport detector or power meter is the only error in their. If you see excessive errors during accuracy testing, examine your test setup and test procedures to eliminate typical sources of measurement errors. Typical sources of accuracy verification testing errors include: Loose connections of voltage or current circuits, often caused by worn-out contacts. It is important that users of calibrated power meters and detectors understand and take into consideration the total uncer-tainty or error that exists in their measurements.
