      Dear Members
      I want to inquire what is difference between Laser Power in +dBm and -ive dBm

      For Example

      completely different
      power in dBm = 10 log (power in w/1mw)
      power in mw = 10^(power in dBm/10)
      w = watt
      16 dBm = 39.4 mw
      -16 dBm = 25.12 micro-watt

      It is just a logarithmic scale of power values…
