Compliance
y The MAP series mSRC-C module,
when installed in a MAP chassis,
complies to CE, CSA/ UL/IEC,
LXI Class C requirements, meets the
requirements of Class M in standard
IEC (), and complies
with CFR . except deviations
per Laser Notice No. ,
Multiple Application Platform (MAP) modules with Fabry-Perot
(FP) lasers, are stabilized, high power, fixed wavelength light
sources at the key telecom wavelengths , , ,
, and nm.
VIAVI offers a wide range of FP lasers as
part of the general purpose light source
(mSRC) module in the MAP portfolio.
The FP lasers are offered at the standard
singlemode wavelengths of 1310nm,
1490nm, 1550nm and 1625nm. Multimode
versions are offered at 850 and 1300nm.
Functional Description
VIAVI Fabry Perot (FP) Lasers emit light
at commonly used discrete wavelengths.
They have spectral width in the region of 5
nm, and a high output power level. Cooled
FP lasers are ideal sources for general loss measurements of
broadband optical components.
VIAVI FP lasers have a stable output power (figure 1) with
the cooled versions having a stability of ±0.005dB. External
isolators in the module ensure stability in the presence of
reflections from open PC or dirty connectors.

Chassis and Modular Family
The VIAVI Multiple Application Platform (MAP) is a modular, rack mountable or benchtop, optical test and
measurement platform with chassis’ that can host 2, 3 or 8 application modules. The LightDirect family of
modules are characterized by their simple control and single function nature. Individually or together they form
the foundation of a diverse array of optical test applications. The web enabled multiuser interface is simple and
intuitive. LXI compliant with a full suite of SCPI based automation drivers and PC based management tools, the
VIAVI MAP is optimized for both the lab to manufacturing environments.
The mSRC is part of the LightDirect module family. Alongside the many other modules, such as optical
attenuators, polarization scramblers, power meters, and spectrum analyzers, the MAP series is the ideal, modular
platform for photonic system and module testing.
The mSRC-C2 is compatible with all current MAP-300 and MAP-200 chassis.
