Today’s rapidly changing optical market requires investment

in productivity-enhancing technologies and tools, making the

MAP- scalable test platform the right tool needed in even

the most stringent environments.

Based on its previous generation, the MAP- builds on the

differentiation of offering the broadest portfolio of modules

in the densest and most configurable platform. The MAP-

is optimized for test applications in lab and manufacturing

environments ranging from insertion loss testing to dispersion

penalty testing (see Table ).

Multiple MAP-200 Mainframe Configurations

The MAP- mainframe comes in three configurations for optimal test

set adaptability: a three-slot configuration and a -inch rack, eight-slot

configuration oriented as either front- or rear-facing for optimal fiber

routing. All three configurations are  RU high. The MAP- mainframes

include hardware required for bench-top use, including rubber feet for

optimal stability and vibration isolation. Furthermore, the MAP- saves

costs because users can share modules within a mainframe.

High-Performance MAP-200 Modules

The MAP- modules include  high-performance types including signal

conditioning and switching, sources and amplification, and power meters.

MAP power meters increase absolute power measurement accuracy

over a wide range of power and wavelengths with a broad combination

of fiber types and connectivity options optimized for both datacom and

telecom applications. High-speed data logging lets users make transient

measurements.

MAP amplifiers meet the broadest optical-signal-amplification

applications and available at various saturated output power, gain flattened

or non-gain flattened, C-band, L-band, and with a low noise figure.

MAP attenuators provide the highest performance optical power control

solution because they offer the lowest insertion loss, highest input-power

capability, low polarization-dependent loss (PDL), high dynamic range, and

ultra-flat attenuation over wavelength.

MAP tunable filters provide the lowest loss and narrowest bandwidth

filter with the highest input-power capability in the industry.

MAP switches are the most configurable optical signal routing solutions in

their class and are available in configurations including low-channel-count

matrix (x) and single input to multiple outputs ranging from  to . In

the x and x format, the modules have up to eight switches per single-

slot module.

MAP sources are ideal for applications requiring a stable stimulus for

parametric measurements and are available at key telecom wavelengths,

with broad or narrow spectral bandwidth, or with tunable spectrum.

Other MAP- functions include a variable backreflector, a polarization

controller, and utility modules.

As Figure a shows, the MAP- mainframe

can be used with the MAP-KD module

mounted on top of it. The pop-out feet

on the mainframe let users position it in a

front-facing manner for optimal viewing and

interaction.

applications where users frequently require GUI

access.

the MAP- is optimal for applications where

users require access to the device under test, the

MAP- modules, and the GUI.
