Traditionally, power meters have been used for continuous-wave (CW) light sources in conjunction with photodiode or thermopile detectors for average power measurements, while energy meters and pyroelectric detectors have been used for pulsed laser beam applications. Recent advancements in photonics technologies have broadened the applications horizon into many different areas. An increasingly larger number of complex and diverse forms of light sources are designed into various systems and experimental setups. These complex light sources drive the need for more sensitive and versatile power measurement capabilities with unprecedented accuracy.
