Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI MSRC-C23333DF-M100-MFA is a general purpose light source module in the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) mSRC-C2 family. It provides four individual 1310 nm distributed feedback (DFB) laser outputs, each TEC-stabilized and delivered on single-mode fiber with FC/APC connectors.

DFB lasers are narrow-linewidth sources that use a grating to define the output wavelength precisely. They offer good side-band suppression, are inherently mode-hop free and are typically used where wavelength and power stability are important. Optical isolators inside the module reduce stability effects caused by back reflection from dirty or open connectors.

The module operates in constant current or constant power mode, with at least 10 dB of power adjustment from maximum power down, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2 kHz.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the MAP LightDirect module family and is compatible with current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis, which host 2, 3 or 8 application modules. The platform is LXI compliant with SCPI-based automation drivers and PC-based management tools, and its web-enabled multiuser interface offers summary and detailed views for laboratory and manufacturing use.
