Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI MSRC-C23500SL-M100-MFA is a member of the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family. It has two standard power Super-Luminescent Light Emitting Diode (SLED) sources at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Each wavelength has its own output on single-mode fiber with FC/APC connectors.

SLED sources give broadband output at high power, combining properties of LEDs and laser sources. The SLEDs are TEC stabilized and can run in either constant current or constant power mode, with an optical power tuning range of at least 10 dB. Internal optical isolators reduce the effect of external reflections on output stability.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the VIAVI LightDirect module family for the MAP platform. MAP is a modular optical test and measurement platform for rack-mount or benchtop use, with chassis that hold 2, 3 or 8 application modules. It is LXI compliant and comes with SCPI-based automation drivers and PC-based management tools. The mSRC-C2 is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis. Its graphical user interface lets users switch between a system-level summary view and detailed module control.
