The interp1 function does not allow for extrapolation. 2.01 is outside your domain for 0 to 1.92

Yeah, your second desired location is outside the range of the input and interp1 won't extrapolate unless it's ordered to--use
>> interp1(Diameter,Power,Given_Diameter,'linear','extrap')
ans =
2.0000 0.2367

Looking at the relationship shown by plotting the above, looks like
interp1(Diameter,Power,Given_Diameter,'spline','extrap')
might be a better approximation than linear in this case as long as don't go very far outside the range ( always a risky proposition, anyway).

NB: the advantage of the spline over the linear is likely that it shows some effect of the curvature apparent in the data while the linear continues at the same slope as the last two points thus predicting lower value.
A quadratic looks like a reasonable try but if you fit it and add to the above you'll see it has a minimum before the last data point as it tries to minimize the whole curve equally.
Perhaps, depending on what it actually is, there may be reason to use a decaying exponential instead?
