M4 Channel Tunable Laser Source; 1528 to 1608 nm; Output Power 7 to 10.5 dBm; FC/APC Connectors; Source Mode CW
Viavi Solutions mTLG-C2 MAP series of multiple application platform (MAP) tunable distributed bragg reflector (DBR) lasers are new-generation tunable lasers that are ideal for DWDM testing where the capability to change wavelength on demand over the C- band with 50 GHz spacing is essential.
The mTLG-C2 MAP series is based on a Sampled Grating Distributed Bragg Reflector (SGDBR) laser with an integral wavelength locker. Wavelength and output power settings are controlled using the MAP Series local interface or automation interfaces. The integrated wavelocker and automatic power control loop enable very stable operation.
The mTLG laser modules integrate up to 4 Viavi Solutions transmit optical sub-assembly (TOSA) based integrable tunable laser assemblies (ITLA) that incorporate an SG-BGR, a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and an integral wavelength locker – all enclosed in a high reliability, hermetically sealed (TOSA) package. The mTLG laser module advances the optical source capability by offering C- or L-band tunability, and dense configurations with 1, 2 or 4 sources per module.
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 allow users to operate at a system level or access the full power of a module. The mTLG-C2 LAB series is part of Viavi Solutions’ LightDirect module family. Alongside the many other modules, such as light sources, polarization scramblers, power meters, and spectrum analyzers, the MAP series is the ideal, modular platform for photonic system and module testing. The mTLG is compatible with all current MAP-300 (and legacy MAP-200) chassis.
The MAP Series 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 Series platform’s industry-leading density and configurability enables test engineers to meet specific application requirements in the smallest possible footprint.
