Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI MAP Optical Power Meter module (mOPM-C1) adds optical power measurement to the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) series. It is offered in panel-mount or remote-head configurations with 1, 2 or 4 inputs per module, and in several detector grades.

Four performance grades use indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detectors and suit single-mode (SM) or multimode (MM) fiber. A fifth variant uses a silicon (Si) detector, which gives a more stable response in the 800 to 1000 nm range. All versions are specified for high accuracy, high linearity and very low polarization dependent loss (PDL). The high- and ultra-high-performance grades have enhanced thermal stabilization, and the high-power grade extends measurement up to +27 dBm.

Remote heads

In the remote-detector configuration, the interface cassette accepts a mix of remote head performance grades, so a general-purpose and a high-power head can share one base module and use fewer chassis slots. Integrated remote heads use a Teflon-based integrating sphere to reduce polarization-dependent loss and handle high power. They have a larger input aperture for high port count MPO or duplex connectors, and come in a premium-performance version and a version for MAP-PCT systems.

Platform and software

The mOPM belongs to the MAP LightDirect module family and works with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis. The MAP platform is LXI-compliant and supports SCPI-based automation drivers. The OPMscope super application shows optical signals graphically, much like a sampling oscilloscope. It can trigger on rising or falling edges, use pre-trigger history, and export up to 100,000 captured data points from up to four optical heads at once.
