Data Sheet
The multiple application platform (MAP-īīī) optical power
meter module (mOPM-Cī) is a third-generation power
meter that brings a range of panel-mount and remote-head
configurations to the Viavi Solutions MAP-īīī platform.
The MAP-200 is the first photonic layer lab and manufacturing platform to be LAN
Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI)-compliant, bringing the full power of Ethernet
connectivity and ease of use of interchangeable virtual instrument (IVI) drivers to the optical
test environment. The MAP-200 platformās industry-leading density and configurability lets
test engineers meet specific application requirements with the smallest possible footprint.
The MAP optical power meter module extends the optical power measurement capability of
the MAP-200 by offering four grades of optical performance in panel-mount or remote-head
configurations with 1, 2, or 4 inputs per module.
Optical Performance
All four performance grades are based on indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) detectors and
are suitable for applications using single-mode (SM) or multimode (MM) fiber. All versions
feature high accuracy, high linearity, and extremely low polarization dependant loss (PDL).
The high- and ultra-high-performance grades feature enhanced thermal stabilization. This
enhances the wavelength range, enabling 90 dB dynamic range for the high-performance
grade and 110 dB dynamic range for the ultra-high-performance grade. The high-power
grade extends high-power measurement capability to +27 dBm.

MAP Optical Power
Meter Module
mOPM-C1
īī MAP Optical Power Meter Module mOPM-Cī
Packaging Options
The mOPM-C1 comes factory-configured with panel-mounted
detectors or as an interface module with 1, 2, or 4 electrical
connections for remote heads. Remote heads facilitate positioning
the detector close to the device under test (DUT) and away from
other test equipment. The interface module is compatible with all
performance grades of remote heads and can accommodate a mix of
performance grades. For example, an application requiring a general
purpose optical power measurement (OPM) and a high-power OPM
could be connected to the same remote head base module, thereby
reducing the number of slots used in the MAP-200 chassis.
Chassis Options
The mOPM-C1 is a member of the LightDirect family of photonic test
tools. It can be used with the full range of MAP-200 chassis, including
the MAP-220C (2 slot), MAP-230B (3 slot), and MAP-280 (8 slot) chassis.
Enhanced Functionality
All mOPM-C1 configurations support array capture with memory
depth of 100,000 points per optical sensor. This feature, when
combined with an adjustable sampling frequency (up to 250 kHz), is
ideal for data-logging applications or for capturing transient events.
Accessories
For ultimate flexibility, the detector heads offer Viavi AC series
interchangeable detector adapters that are available for most
connector types, as well as a fiber holder that permits bare-fiber
measurements. The mOPM-C1 is supplied with a detector cover and
fixed-connection (FC) detector adapter as standard accessories. As an
option for remote head users, a 1.8 m (6 ft) extension cable is available.
GUI
Super Application: OPMscope
The OPMscope is a super application designed for use with the
mOPM-C1 line of power meters on the MAP-200 platform. This
software feature is an intuitive tool geared for designers and allows
graphical representation of optical signals, much like a digital sampling
scope, but in the optical domain. This tool can be used to trigger on
rising or falling edges, with the ability to see history using pre-trigger
data points. It lets users pan and zoom to see details and monitor
transients and exports up to 100,000 captured data for extended
analysis from up to four optical heads simultaneously.
Additional Applications
y DUT settling time, cross talk, rise and fall times
y measures synchronization and insertion loss stability
y measures link recovery time
y allows for performance comparison (for example, comparing sequential
switching to random switching)
