The transmitter power levels given above are Peak Power Levels after optical overshoot. Use a Peak Power Meter to compare the values given above to those measured on any particular port. To measure power levels with an Average Power Meter, add 3 dBm to the average power measurement to compare the average power values measured to the values listed above i.e., -33.5 dBm average + 3 dBm = -30.5 dBm peak
