Configure an optical test system
-- Test & Measurement World, 8/1/2008
With the MAP-200 series from JDSU, you can configure a modular tester for passive or active optical components or systems. Designed for lab or factory use and available in a mainframe or portable chassis (version shown), the MAP-200 supports 16 modules that include power meters, amplifiers, attenuators, tunable filters, switches, polarization controllers, and optical sources.
The system can test 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps optical transmissions for parameters such as jitter, power, flatness, insertion loss, and stressed-receiver compliance. The optional user-interface panel includes a 10.4-in. LCD screen, control buttons, and a wheel. The MAP-200 works with a USB mouse and keyboard, and you can connect a computer monitor through its digital visual interface port.
The mainframe models can hold up to three or eight measurement modules, with the eight-slot mainframe available with front- or rear-facing orientation. All chassis models are LXI Class C compliant. Software support includes drivers for LabView and C/C++.
