We describe the results of a comparison of reference standards between the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST-USA) and Laboratorio de
Metrologia, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (LAMETRO-ICE, COSTA RICA) for
optical fiber-based power measurements at wavelengths of 1310.0 nm, 1550.15 nm, and
1625.0 nm. We compare the laboratories' reference standards by means of a commercial
temperature-controlled optical fiber power meter. Measurement results showed the
largest difference of less than 5.8 parts in 103, which is within the combined
standard (k=1) uncertainty for the two laboratories� reference standards.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
