    Is a negative reading on the optical power meter normal

    This negative reading is normal and indicates the expected passive loss of light over distance and through network components. After all, lasers produce positive optical power, so how could a sensor display, for example, −5 W? With thermopile-based laser power sensors, the answer usually lies in the temperature gradient inside the. Measuring Power Measurements of optical power are expressed in units of dBm. The “m” in dBm refers to the reference power which is 1 milliwatt. 1 milliwatt and +10 dBm is 10 milliwatts. Fiber optic sources. Why incorrect power readings occur Incorrect readings most commonly arise from: How this affects network judgment Misinterpreted power levels often lead to: Why it is widely misunderstood Many technicians treat power meters as “pass/fail devices. ” In reality, they are context-dependent instruments. Zero dBm is defined as exactly one milliwatt. The power received at the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is virtually always less than one milliwatt, resulting in the received signal strength being expressed as a negative number, such as -20 dBm. And where either too high or too low a number can signal a malfunction in the device.
