This unit
The EXFO PM-1613 is a single-channel, high-speed optical power meter engineered for precision measurements in fiber optic systems testing and manufacturing environments. Built around a 1 mm InGaAs detector, it delivers rapid response times and high sensitivity across the 800–1700 nm wavelength band, with measurement resolution to 0.001 dB and absolute uncertainty of ±5 % over its core dynamic range. The instrument supports multiple measurement units (dB, dBm, Watt) and operates in both continuous and burst acquisition modes, sampling up to 4096 samples/second for transient capture and analysis.
