Design of an intelligent embedded optical power meter system

Portable optical power meter is one of the most common test equipment in the field of optical fiber communication, especially widely used in optical fiber construction. Because they are often used outdoors, such instruments need to meet the key characteristics of low power consumption, high measurement accuracy and portability. At present, there is a big gap between domestic portable optical power meters and foreign ones. In view of this situation, this paper proposes a low-cost, portable intelligent embedded optical power meter system, which supports intelligent calibration. The software adopts the method of thread concurrency to improve the operation efficiency, accelerate the response time, and process the data with appropriate algorithms. It can meet the needs of on-site construction detection and diagnosis of optical fiber communication engineering, and has a broad application market.
