An apparatus for measuring optical power includes a first component configured to at least one of multiplex or demultiplex between a first composite optical waveguide and at least a first intermediate optical waveguide and a second intermediate optical waveguide. The apparatus further includes a second component configured to at least one of multiplex or demultiplex between a second composite optical waveguide and at least the first intermediate optical waveguide and the second intermediate optical waveguide. The apparatus further includes a first optical coupler positioned along the first intermediate optical waveguide and a second optical coupler positioned along the second intermediate optical waveguide. The apparatus further includes a first photodetector, a second photodetector, a first measurement device, and a second measurement device.
