An optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an optical signal. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers, photometers, laser power meters (can be photodiode sensors or thermopile laser sensors), light meters or lux meters. Additionally, these may be used with attenuating elements for high optical power testing, or wavelengt.
