This Technical Note presents the experimental results showing the power measurement stability of an OMM6810B Optical Multimeter coupled to an OMH-6727B InGaAs Power/WaveHead.The measurement setup is shown in Figure 1. An ILX Lightwave MPS-8033/01 Precision Fiber Optic Source, operating at approximately 1300 nm, provided 1 mW of laser light from a single mode fiber patchcord. The patchcord was coupled to the OMH-6727B with an FC fiber optic adapter. A computer, operating over GPIB, was used to automatically read and record power and wavelength as measured by the OMM-6810B. Measurements were recorded every five minutes. The experiment was performed in an open laboratory environment with the temperature fluctuating approximately ±1°C.
