Santec California Corporation releases new Wide Single Range Optical Power Meter

Santec California Corporation releases wide single range optical power meter targeting optical alignment for CPO and PIC applications

Camarillo, California – June 12, 2026 – Santec California Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the Wide Single Range Optical Power Meter (OPM-230). The OPM-230 utilizes a logarithmic gain circuit to provide over 70 dB range in a single gain stage while maintaining high accuracy and fast measurement speed.

The wide single range power meter is ideal for applications such as optical alignment or swept wavelength tests where reliable measurements are required at both high and low power.

The 2mm InGaAs detector can accurately measure from 10 to -75 dBm while the soon to be released integrating sphere will measure from 30 to -40 dBm.

Analog outputs with selectable voltages (2.5, 5 and 10 V) and a trigger input make it easy to integrate into more complex and automated test systems. Programming through USB or Ethernet are possible with detailed programming guides and samples available.

Features:

• 70+ dB dynamic range in a single gain
• Analog output with selectable voltages (2.5, 5 and 10V)
• Free-space 2 mm InGaAs detector (integrating sphere to be released soon)
• 840 to 1700 nm wavelength range
• FC, SC, LC, MPO and more detector adapters
• Trigger input and 128,000 points data logging per detector
• Touch screen display
• USB or Ethernet

The OPM-230 is available now, please inquire with the local sales office, or on Santec’s website inst.santec.com.
