optical white light source

[ashiq hussain]

Hello sir , this is regarding the matter that while using a “white light source ” as a source in optisystem .By setting its power at 0dbm ( or 1mW ), it behaves in an unacceptable way and gives out power in huge amount ( of the order of 10^3 W).My question is how is it possible that the source which is set to 1mW power emits radiations a million times more than the specified value. I am sending this mail with attachments so that you could find the error or give any explanation and reply me asap.
Thanking in anticipation.

Hi Ashiq;

power might be the average power (when power spectral density (PSD) is unchecked)
or
PSD X sample rate (when PSD is checked).

so please uncheck the PSD you will get what you expect as average power.

hope this helps
thanks
