dc.description.abstract A fibre optic power meter calibration has several uncertainty contributors associated with it. In order to assign a realistic uncertainty to the calibration result it is necessary to realistically estimate the magnitude of each uncertainty contributor. Two contributors that are of interest during a fibre optic power meter calibration are the effect of connector-tightening and the effect of fibre flexing. This paper reports on empirical measurements that we performed to quantify these two uncertainty contributors, the methods we used and the results thereof. It was done only for standard single mode fibre with FC connectors, and using a 1310 nm and a 1550 nm Fabry Perot laser (FP laser) en
