Overview
The VIAVI MSRC-C23500FP-M100-MFA is a member of the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family. It is a TEC'd (thermoelectrically cooled) Fabry-Perot (FP) laser module with individual 1310 nm and 1550 nm outputs on single-mode fiber 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. Cooled FP lasers are suited to general loss measurements of broadband optical components. The cooled versions have an optical power stability of ±0.005 dB, and external isolators in the module maintain stability in the presence of reflections from open PC or dirty connectors.
The module operates in constant current or constant power mode with at least 10 dB of power tuning range, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2.0 kHz.
Platform
The mSRC is part of the MAP LightDirect module family and is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis. The MAP platform is a modular, rack-mountable or benchtop system with chassis that host 2, 3 or 8 application modules, an LXI-compliant web-enabled multiuser interface, and SCPI-based automation drivers. The graphical user interface provides summary and detailed views for system-level or module-level operation.
