MAP - Multiple Application Platform

MAP – MAP is the measuring system developed by VIAVI for industrial and laboratory use. There are different measuring platforms available that vary in their number of connection slots. For these platforms plug-in modules for various measurements are available, such as, for example, light sources, filters, or optical switches.

Description

Multi-wavelength Meter – mWAVE

The measurement principle behind the mWAVE multi-wavelength frequency meter is based on coherent detection technology. The frequency resolution used to determine the optical power level is currently unmatched; the detection of the center wavelengths of densely packed optical signals with a spacing of just 2 GHz is also worth pointing out.

Measurement range
Expanded C band: 196.4-191.1 THz
is equal to 1526.44-1568.77 nm

High-resolution OSA – mHROSA

The mHROSA optical spectrum analyzer ensures a sub-GHz resolution: it combines the WAVE multi-wavelength frequency meter with a high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) in a single module of standard width.

Typical applications include the characterization of DWDM transmission systems, optical sources, transponders, and line cards. The mHROSAs are particularly well suited for the characterization of components for 10/40/100/400 G applications.
