Optical power

Degree to which an optical system converges or diverges light

Optical power

In optics, optical power (also referred to as dioptric power, refractive power, focal power, focusing power, or convergence power) is the degree to which a lens, mirror, or other optical system converges or diverges light. It is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length of the device; high optical power corresponds to short focal length. The SI unit for optical power is the inverse metre (m−1), which is also called a dioptre (symbol: dpt or D) when used as a unit of optical power.
