The transmitter power levels and receive sensitivity levels listed are peak
power levels after optical overshoot. A peak power meter must be used to
correctly compare the values given above to those measured on any
particular port. If power levels are being measured with an average power
meter, add 3 dB to the measurement to compare the measured values to
the values listed above.
