Consider the exhibit which shows an EPT Power ManagementReport for an ingress amplifier.

The available output optical power range is the difference between the maximum gain and the minimum gain range of the ingress amplifier. According to the EPT Power Management Report, the maximum gain is 25.7 dB and the minimum gain range is 14 dB. Therefore, the available output optical power range is 25.7 - 14 = 11.7 dB. To convert this to a logarithmic scale, we use the formula 10^(x/10), where x is the value in dB. Therefore, the available output optical power range in logarithmic scale is 10^(11.7/10) - 10^(14/10) = 14.68 - 25.12 = -0.6 to 1.72dB. References : Nokia Optical Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Course | Nokia, EPT Power Management Report | Nokia
