Viavi Solutions’ mEDFA-C1 series of MAP Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers meets some of the most demanding optical specifications including a low-noise version with <3.7dB noise figure. DWDM, high power and an L-band version are also available.

mEDFA-C1 MAP is a third-generation amplifier design, optimized for use in the systems lab or for optical test and measurement applications. The simplified control and modular design make the module extremely simple to integrate and use. It removes the need to “work-around” networking management protocols that often frustrate R&D and manufacturing engineers and slow down test automation. The mEDFA-C1 has six carefully selected variants designed to span the most critical application requirements.

While simple to control from the front panel or over the remote interface, the mEDFA-C1 MAP amplifiers meet some of the most demanding optical specifications including a low noise version with <3.7dB noise figure. These low noise amplifiers are essential for test automation implementations where system path loss requires a test signal power boost prior to application to the DUT. In most cases OSNR impairments must be kept to a minimum. Auto gain and power control options are designed to simplify power management, in particular when a single channel tunable source is used. DWDM, High Power and an L-band version are also available.

As part of the MAP-300 family (also compatible with MAP-200), the mEDFA-C1 MAP module series is an Ethernet or GPIB modular instrument that can be directly managed from your PC-based automation system. A member of the LightDirect Family of MAP-300 modules, the mEDFA-C1 can be deployed in the compact MAP-220C 2-slot chassis, the MAP-330 3-slot chassis or the larger MAP-380 8-slot chassis systems. Alongside the many other modules, such as amplifiers, precision attenuators, power meters and spectrum analyzers, MAP-300 is the ideal modular photonics test platform for 100G+ test applications.

mPCX-C1 MAP Benchtop Fiber Polarization Controllers

Scrambling Modes Random, Rayleigh, Ring, Discrete; 1520 to 1620 nm; Max. Input Power 20 dBm; Insertion Loss <3 dB; Return Loss >40 dB Viavi Solutions’ mPCX-C1 MAP series of Multiple Application Platform (MAP) polarization scrambler controllers provides polarization scrambling, control and stabilization for use in applications such as temporal depolarization, 100G+ coherent interface testing as well as stabilization and tracking of target SOP conditions. mPCX-C1 MAP is a single-slot, high-speed polarization scrambler, controller and stabilizer. Based on Lithium-Niobate, the electro-optic waveplates have the response time required by the most demanding polarization management applications. With the rise of coherent modulation formats and polarization multiplex systems, there is a new premium on understanding the way the polarization state of these signals interacts with single mode fiber. The MPCX-C1 MAP is designed to enable these tests, not only in the laboratory, but also in the transition of these tests into a manufacturing environment. At its core, the mPCX-C1 MAP series cascades eight quarter wave-plates; each calibrated over the C+L band. These wave-plates can be rotated at high speed and are reset-free (endlessly rotatable) to control the state of polarization (SOP). Simple, predefined, rate-programmable, and polarization scrambling modes are provided which can achieve rates up to 3 Mrad/s. Alternatively, user-defined tables can be uploaded for custom scrambling patterns. With the proprietary SOP feedback option, two features are unlocked. The first enables an identified state to hold while the mPCX-C1 counteracts normal environmental drift and the second simplifies the automatic generation of unique diagnostic scrambling modes. As part of the MAP-300 family (also compatible with MAP-200), the mPCX-C1 MAP module series is an Ethernet or GPIB modular instrument that can be directly managed from your PC-based automation system. A member of the LightDirect Family of MAP-300 modules, the mPCX-C1 MAP can be deployed in the compact MAP-220C 2-slot chassis, the MAP-330 3-slot chassis or the larger MAP-380 8-slot chassis systems.
