MAP Series O-Band Optical Amplifier (SOA/mSRC-C23000SA) (Discontinued)

MAP Series O-Band Optical Amplifier (SOA/mSRC-C23000SA)

Single-channel, polarization-independent semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)

As loss requirements for 100GE, 200GE and 400GE transmission continue to decrease, optical amplifiers like this O-band Optical Amplifier, have become a critical element in the test automation tool kit, alongside attenuators, power meters and switches. There are three key scenarios that require amplification in a manufacturing test system:

  • The base test system automation and the use of attenuators, switches, and mux/demux optics create path losses that exceed the path loss allowance.
  • The reference transmitter power is not high enough to achieve an overload condition.
  • Tests in manufacturing might be performed in loopback mode, and the DUT TX does not have enough power to achieve overload and guarantee interoperability.

The mSRC-C­23000SA provides enough gain to overcome these issues and ensure receivers can be verified over their full dynamic range. The bandwidth of the amplifier can support the wavelengths used in the LR4 and LR8 interfaces. When set to the disabled state, the amplifier can provide > dB of attenuation and effectively isolate an individual carrier.

The mSRC-C­2000SA has a simple, intuitive graphical user interface (UI) for use in R&D environments. The UI provides controls for setting the power level from 10% to 100% or disabling the power entirely. As part of the LightDirect family of MAP-Series modules, the mSRC-C­23000SA supports communications over Ethernet or GPIB, and can be directly managed using a PC-based automation system or via VNC. It can be deployed in all MAP-Series chassis—the compact ­-slot MAP-­­220C chassis and the larger 3-slot and 8-slot rack-mount chassis (MAP-­230 and MAP-280, respectively). The mSRC-C­23000SA, along with a wide range of other MAP-Series modules that includes amplifiers, precision attenuators, power meters, and spectrum analyzers, help make the MAP-Series series the ideal modular photonics test platform.

Benefits:

  • > 10 dB of small signal gain in the O-band
  • Saturated output power > 10 dB
  • Operating range from 1270 to 1340 nm with minimal spectral ripple
  • Polarization independent input
  • Temperature stabilized features

Applications:

  • Testing LR4 and LR8 100GE, 200GE and 400GE interfaces
  • RX overload and recovery testing
  • Broadband light source for passive component testing

    Battery / Bag Replacement Coverage
    Batteries and bags wear out with daily use and charge cycles. To ensure these items don't slow you down, our 5 year plans include a replacement over the life of your 5 year plan.

    VIAVI will provide a one-time replacement of bad battery and worn soft bag/glove within the duration of a 5-year SilverCare or MaxCare Support Plan. Replacement will only be replaced when the instrument is returned to VIAVI for repair or calibration service. Hard cases are excluded, and coverage is not applicable for instruments sold without bag/battery.

    This coverage is Included in 5 year Silver and MaxCare Plans

    Technical Assistance
    The VIAVI Technical Support team can assist you in using/configuring products or address issues regarding product performance.

    Visit our Technical Assistance section for more information.

    MaxCare Accessory Replacement Coverage
    Instrument products come with accessory cables and connector tips. To ensure reliable, accurate testing we will cover the replacement of one accessory annually, to ensure good test results.

    When an accessory has been determined to be defective or faulty, VIAVI will, at no charge to customer, either repair the accessory or exchange at VIAVI’s discretion. Exchanged accessories may be new or refurbished. All returned accessories become property of VIAVI. The following limitations apply: no more than one accessory may be exchanged per 12 month period; applicable accessories include only those accessories that are considered essential to the operation of the instrument and were shipped with the original purchased product. The Customer is responsible for shipping faulty accessory back to VIAVI when there is a concern or during a calibration or repair service event.

    Express Loaner
    Now you can schedule calibrations or repairs with no downtime. The Express Loaner Service provides you with a similarly configured piece of equipment before sending yours in for calibration or for that unexpected repair that you need immediately.
