The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) broadband light source with

Super-luminescent Light Emitting Diode lasers (SLED) are stabilized,

high power, fixed wavelength emitters with coverage of the key

telecom wavelengths of , ,  and nm.

VIAVI offers a wide range of SLED sources

as part of the general purpose light source

(mSRC) module in the MAP portfolio. The

SLEDs are offered at nominal wavelengths

of 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625nm,

with both high power and standard

power variants.

Functional Description

VIAVI SLEDs are highly stable sources and

offer (figure 1) ±0.005 dB for standard

power configuration and ±0.01 dB

for high-power configuration. Optical

isolators inside the module remove any interference effects

from external sources of reflections.

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.

An intuitive graphic user interface (GUI) is optimized for use in

either a laboratory or a manufacturing environment. Efficient

transition between summary and detailed views allows users to

operate at a system level or access the full power of a module.

SLEDs have the advantages of LEDs and laser sources, with broadband output and high power (figures 2-4)
