Datasheet

Overview

The MSRC-C23500SLX-M100-MFA is a member of the VIAVI Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family. It combines standard power Super-Luminescent Light Emitting Diode (SLED) sources at 1310 nm and 1550 nm into a single multiplexed output on single-mode fiber with an FC/APC connector.

SLEDs combine characteristics of LEDs and laser sources, providing broadband output at comparatively high power. The sources are TEC stabilized, and internal optical isolators reduce dependence on external reflections. The module operates in constant current or constant power mode, offers at least 10 dB of optical power tuning range from maximum power down, and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2.0 kHz.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the LightDirect module family for the MAP platform, a modular rack-mountable or benchtop optical test system 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 offering summary and detailed views.
