Overview
The VIAVI MSRC-C2E000DF-M100-MFA is a single-output Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser source module in the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family. It provides a stabilized, fixed-wavelength 1653 nm output on single-mode fiber with an FC/APC connector, a wavelength the manufacturer designates as an out-of-band OTDR sensing channel.
DFB lasers are narrow-linewidth lasers that use a grating above the active layer to define the output wavelength precisely. They offer good side-band suppression and are inherently mode-hop free, which makes them suited to applications where wavelength and power stability are important. The module is TEC stabilized, and internal optical isolators reduce stability effects caused by back reflection from dirty or open connectors.
The source operates in constant current or constant power mode, offers at least 10 dB of power tuning range from maximum power down, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2 kHz.
MAP platform
The mSRC is part of the LightDirect module family of the VIAVI MAP, a modular, rack-mountable or benchtop optical test platform with chassis that host 2, 3 or 8 application modules. The mSRC-C2 is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis. The platform is LXI compliant, with SCPI-based automation drivers, PC-based management tools and a web-enabled multiuser graphical interface that provides summary and detailed module views.
