Spectral width of optical source
Full width at half maximum. The 3 dB width of the optical spectrum,
expressed in nm.
Symbol:
FWHM.
Total uncertainty
The uncertainty for a specified set of operating conditions, including noise
and drift.
Conditions:
power level, beam diameter or fiber type, numerical aperture,
wavelength, spectral width, ambient temperature, re-calibration period as
specified.
→
Noise and drift observed over a specified observation time,
with a temperature change of not more than ±
Δ
T.
Uncertainty at reference conditions
The uncertainty for the specified set of reference conditions, including all
uncertainties in the calibration chain from the national laboratory to the
test meter.
Wavelength Range
The range of wavelengths for which the power meter is calibrated.
Note: Selectable wavelength setting of the power meter for useful power
measurements (operating wavelength range).
