    OP710 Definition of Specifications Dynamic Range The dynamic range spans from the maximal power level the instrument can measure without major saturation to the detector to the minimal power level where the thermal noise of the detector becomes greater than the current produced by the incident light.
  • Page 7 OP710 Definition of Specifications Spectral Responsivity Depending on the detector type, InGaAs (Indium Gallium Arsenide) or Silicon the spectral responsivity, the efficiency of the detector to convert optical power into electrical current changes with wavelength. Responsivity of InGaAs Detectors Responsivity of Silicon Detectors Note that other detector types are available such as IN5 (5mm InGaAs) IN10 (10mm InGaAs) as well as WSR (wide spectral range) and might exhibit a different spectral responsivity.
  • Page 8 OP710 Definition of Specifications Recommended Recalibration Period This is the recommended time period for re-calibration in order to maintain accuracy specifications. The recommendation is made based upon statistics on detector aging; however it is up to the metrology policies and procedures within each company to define the calibration cycles on optical power meters.
  • Page 9 OP710 Definition of Specifications Reference Cable The reference cable is the cable with which the DUTs will be measured against. Typically reference cables are required to be of a defined quality with a specified connector/endface polish. Instrument, Environmental Operating Temperature: This is the temperature range in which the instrument will conform to the specifications after the specified warm up time.
