MAP DFB Laser - Analog Modulation (PDF, 0.15 MB)
The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Distributed Feedback Source with Analog Modulation (mDFA-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 platorm is optimized for density and maximum configurability to meet specific application requirements in the smallest possible foot print.
The mDFA-A1 features 1 GHz of modulation bandwidth and low distortion for accurate CATV receiver testing. The cassette features a built-in laser-bias driver and thermo-electric cooler controller for optimal wavelength and power stability.
The radio frequency (RF) modulation is applied through an SMA connector (50 Ohm impedance) on the front panel of the cassette. The RF path is an unamplified connection directly to the laser through an integrated bias-T.
Key Features
- 10 mW output power
- 1 GHz of modulation bandwidth
- Very low second and third order distortion
