Optical power meters measure radiant flux, while optical energy meters measure radiant energy, typically from sources such as lasers. When properly calibrated, these instruments function as radiometers. The term usually refers to a device used for measuring the average power in fiber optic systems. Other general purpose light power measuring devices are usually called radiometers, photometers, laser power. Thorlabs' expanding line of optical power and energy meters includes a large selection of sensor heads, single- and dual-channel power and energy meter consoles, power and energy meter interfaces, a wireless power meter with a built-in photodiode sensor, and a fiber optic power meter designed for. Radiometric instruments, collectively referred to as radiometers, are devices used to measure radiometric quantities, such as radiant flux, radiant energy, irradiance and radiance. Our extensive selection includes sensors, light meters, photometers, radiometers, reference standard detector systems, and trans-impedance amplifiers, ensuring we meet your specific testing requirements.
