Abstract:
An integrated, more automated system for determining the linearity of measurements of fiber optic power meters reduces the time and expense needed for linearity calibration. The system uses the triplet superposition method of linearity calibration and aids in performing the necessary series of measurements. A linearity measurement system for an optical power meter comprises an apparatus to output an optical signal to the optical power meter, the apparatus configured to output the optical signal at a controllable plurality of optical powers, a controller for controlling an optical power output from the apparatus to the optical power meter, a display device for displaying a state of the apparatus based on information from the controller, and an input device for commanding the controller to control the optical power output from the apparatus to the optical power meter.
