We discuss issues related to calibration of optical fiber powermeters. The power readings may vary when using various types of fiber connectors, or even the same type of connectors made by different vendors. We study the connector effects by calibrating four types of optical fiber powermeters using six different fiber connectors from four vendors at three wavelengths. We found variations of as much as 12% due to the different reflection properties of the detector windows, connectors, and detectors. We also compared connector measurement results with the data obtained by using open beams.
我们讨论了与光纤功率计校准相关的问题。使用各种类型的光纤连接器时，甚至使用不同供应商生产的同一类型连接器时，功率读数可能会有所不同。我们通过在三个波长下使用来自四个供应商的六种不同光纤连接器对四种类型的光纤功率计进行校准，研究了连接器的影响。我们发现，由于探测器窗口、连接器和探测器的反射特性不同，变化幅度高达12%。我们还将连接器的测量结果与使用开放光束获得的数据进行了比较。
