Overview
The MSRC-C23500FBX-M100-MFA is a member of the VIAVI Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family. It is a basic (non-TEC'd) Fabry-Perot (FP) laser module that provides 1310 nm and 1550 nm emitters multiplexed onto a single single-mode output with FC/APC connectors.
Fabry-Perot lasers emit light at commonly used discrete wavelengths, with a spectral width in the region of 5 nm and a high output power level. They are suited to general loss measurements of broadband optical components. External isolators in the module maintain stability in the presence of reflections from open PC or dirty connectors.
The module can operate in constant power or constant current mode with an optical power tuning range of at least 10 dB, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2.0 kHz. Supplying the wavelengths pre-multiplexed on a single output simplifies test system integration.
Platform
The mSRC is part of the MAP LightDirect module family, which also includes optical attenuators, polarization scramblers, power meters and spectrum analyzers. The mSRC-C2 is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis, which can host 2, 3 or 8 application modules. The platform is LXI compliant with SCPI-based automation drivers and PC-based management tools, and its graphical user interface offers both summary and detailed module views.
