What else can I help you with?
Where can i find an optical power meter online?
Thor Labs offers many options in the way of optical power meters. They can be purchased from their website: http://www.thorlabs.com/navigation.cfm?Guide_ID=37
What exactly is an optical power meter?
It is a device used to measure power in an optical signal. It is usually done to test optic fibers. Here is where you can get a lot more information on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power_meter
Is there a meter display when power is out?
Depending on meter model and type it may. Smart meters have ability to operate without supply to communicate with grid.
How does one install a power meter?
If you purchase a power meter from a store like Best Buy or Home Depot, they offer free installation service. These stores also teach you how to operate and maintain these devices.

How do you calculate optical power?
Optical power is calculated by dividing the energy of the light beam by the time it takes to deliver that energy. The formula for optical power is: Power (P) = Energy (E) / Time (t). The unit of measurement for optical power is watts (W).
What does optical power mean?
Optical power refers to the ability of a lens or optical system to converge or diverge light. It is typically measured in diopters (D) and indicates the strength of the lens in focusing light onto the retina. Positive optical power converges light (useful for correcting hyperopia), while negative optical power diverges light (useful for correcting myopia).
Does a curved mirror necessarily have optical power?
Yes but a complex curve will not have a simple or single optical power.
What is the oldest and most dangerous weapon in history?
a rock, its the one thing that will never lose its power to kill and anyone can operate it.
Does a thinner and less convex lens have a shorter focal length and low optical power?
It is not necessary that a thinner convex lens have less optical power or a thicker lens has more optical power
What test can be performed to check attenuation in fiber optic cables?
Easiest way is looking at the Rx signal information of the device receiving the optical signal. For instance, switches and routers are equipped with removable optical transceivers (SFP) which often have digital diagnostic monitoring ( DDM) capabilities. Available information includes Rx power, temperarure and bias current among others. The other way to easily measure attenuation is by using an optical power meter. In both cases the optical budget of the optical link (in dB), or at least the remote end's Tx power (in dBm) must be known beforehand.
Difference between active and passive optical component?
Fiber optic couplers can be either active or passive devices. The difference between active and passive couplers is that a passive coupler redistributes the optical signal without optical-to-electrical conversion. Active couplers are electronic devices that split or combine the signal electrically and use fiber optic detectors and sources for input and output.
