The consequence of using a mismatched wavelength setting on an optical power meter when measuring optical power is an inaccurate power reading. Optical power meters are calibrated to measure power accurately at specific wavelengths. The detector within the power meter has a wavelength-dependent responsivity, meaning it responds differently to light of different wavelengths. The responsivity is a measure of how efficiently the detector converts optical power into an electrical signal. If ....
