a. Typical value in 62.5/125 µm fiber.
b. Specified in continuous-wave (CW) mode; sensitivity based on six times the rms noise level.
c. Applies at calibrated wavelengths, valid up to 20 dBm.
d. Available for input powers above −25 dBm.
e. Auto functions specified for 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nm when input power exceeds −40 dBm (typical).
f. Warm-up not required to stay within ±0.06 dB for powers ≥ −25 dBm.
g. Spectral width is rms for FP lasers.
h. Long-term stability defined after 15 minutes warm-up, using an APC connector on the power meter (PC connector for multimode); value is ± half the peak-to-peak variation over the stated period.
