Abstract: Optical power measurement is the most important measurement in the field of fiber optics. The task can be classified into the following categories: a) Relative (power ratio) measurements, e.g. insertion loss or return loss measurements: in this case, the calibration of the power meter has little influence on the measurement result. b) Absolute power measurements. Typical examples are: power measurement of laser diode modules, bit error rate (BER-) measurements, laser safety characterizations, responsivity measurements of photcdiodes, and, of course, calibrations of optical power meters. Most critical is BER measurement: a 3 % power error can result in 100 % error of the bit error rate.
