Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI MSRC-C23456FP-M100-MFA is a general purpose light source module in the mSRC-C2 family for the Multiple Application Platform (MAP). It contains TEC-stabilized (cooled) Fabry Perot (FP) lasers at 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nm, each on its own single-mode FC/APC output connector.

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. External isolators in the module keep the output stable when reflections come 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 down from maximum power, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2.0 kHz.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the LightDirect module family for the MAP, a modular rack-mountable or benchtop optical test platform with chassis that hold 2, 3 or 8 application modules. The platform is LXI compliant, has a web-enabled multiuser interface and offers SCPI-based automation drivers. The mSRC-C2 is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis.
