Abstract

We describe NIST measurement services for the calibration of optical fiber power meters. To augment the absolute power measurements NIST provides nonlinearity, spectral responsivity, and uniformity measurements. We explain the measurement standards, systems, methods, and uncertainties related to the NIST calibration services for optical fiber power meter. Fiber connector issues are briefly described.
