The Newport PTS-FOPM Fiber Optic Power Meter is a modular optical power measurement instrument designed for direct fiber input across a broad wavelength spectrum. It delivers precision readings from -100 dBm to +3 dBm, making it suitable for field testing, laboratory analysis, and optical network maintenance. The meter employs a 300 μm diameter detector with eight selectable gain ranges to optimize signal acquisition across its full measurement span.
