A proper calibration of an optical power meter at a given wavelength requires the verification of two crucial parameters: the absolute accuracy and the linearity. We discuss the key elements involved in determining the uncertainty in the absolute accuracy and the nonlinearity of the power response under what are termed `reference conditions of calibration'. We also discuss the underlying causes of erroneous measurements resulting from each of the three subsystems constituting a power meter: the detector element, the collecting optics and the electronics.
