Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI MSRC-C2C000DF-M100-MFA is a single-output Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser module in the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) General Purpose Light Source (mSRC-C2) family. It emits at 1510 nm, the C-band telemetry wavelength. The output uses single-mode fiber with an FC/APC connector.

A DFB laser is built like a Fabry-Perot laser, but it has a grating above the active layer. The grating sets the output wavelength precisely and gives a narrow linewidth, good side-band suppression and mode-hop-free operation. The module is TEC-stabilized. It can run in constant current or constant power mode and offers at least 10 dB of power adjustment. Optical isolators prevent back reflections from dirty or open connectors from affecting stability.

Platform

The mSRC is part of the MAP LightDirect module family and works with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis. Those chassis are modular, rack-mountable or benchtop, and hold 2, 3 or 8 application modules. The platform is LXI compliant and comes with SCPI-based automation drivers, PC-based management tools and a web-enabled multiuser graphical interface that has summary and detailed views.
