Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI MSRC-C25000SL-M100-MFA is a 1550 nm standard power Super-Luminescent Light Emitting Diode (SLED) source module with an individual output on single-mode fiber with an FC/APC connector. It is part of the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family of stabilized, fiber-coupled, fixed-wavelength emitters.

SLED sources combine the broadband output of LEDs with the higher power of laser sources. The module is TEC stabilized and an internal optical isolator removes interference effects from external reflections. It operates in constant current or constant power mode with at least 10 dB of power tuning range and supports modulation from 0.15 to 2.0 kHz.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the LightDirect module family of the MAP, a modular rack-mountable or benchtop optical test and measurement 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, and a graphical user interface provides summary and detailed views for laboratory or manufacturing use.
