MAP DFB Laser (PDF, 0.17 MB)
The Multiple Application (MAP) Distributed Feedback Source (mDFB-A1) is optimized for the industry-leading JDSU MAP-200 platform. Based on the previous-generation Multiple Application Platform (MAP), the MAP-200 is the first photonic layer lab and manufacturing platform that is LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI)-compliant by conforming to the required physical attributes, Ethernet connectivity, and interchangeable virtual instrument (IVI) drivers. The MAP-200 platform is optimized for density and maximum configurability to meet specific application requirements in the smallest possible foot print.
The mDFB-A1 is an excellent source for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system testing. A combination of DFB lasers may be used to create an ITU grid in which optical frequency represented by a DFB laser corresponds to the transmitter in the optical network. The mDFB-A1 can be selected to comply with the 100 GHz ITU grid in the C- and L-band (1529 to 1610 nm). The lasers typically show a side-mode suppression ratio of 40 dB and can be modulated internally from 0.2 to 400 kHz in square, sinusoidal and triangular waves.
