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.

MAP Variable Optical Attenuator – mVOA

Description

The mVBR variable back reflectors are plug-in modules that allow the adjustment of back reflections and, subsequently, the characterization of the sensitivity of transmitters and optical systems to back reflections.

A mVOA variable optical attenuator is used to adjust the power level.

It is based on a step motor that guarantees the quick repeatability of adjustments made. This MAP module is characterized by low intrinsic insertion loss.

Attenuators with tap couplers or with internal power measurement modules to record the optical level are available on an optional basis.
