GAO Tek unveils enhanced optical power meter

March 16, 2009--GAO Tek Inc.'s GAO800 Optical Power Meter is designed for fast field testing, optical network maintenance, and equipment research and development. Applications include testing of LANs, WANs, metropolitan networks, CATV, or long-distance fiber networks.

The Optical Power Meter can be used to test optical power within the wavelength range of 800 to1600 nm, either in units of μW, dB or dBm. The device offers various wavelength calibration points and is designed to distinguish the fiber type, accurately test fiber loss, check fiber continuity, and, with laser sources, assist in evaluating the transmission quality of a fiber chain. The optical meter also supports both linearity and non-linearity tests, and displays direct and relative tests of fiber optical power.
