The JDS Uniphase SWS15106 is a receiver control module engineered to manage and monitor receiver parameters within optical communication test systems. It serves as a critical component in the Swept Wavelength System (SWS) platform, enabling precise characterization of passive optical components through direct control of detector and receiver functionality. Integrated into the OWB10002 mainframe architecture, the SWS15106 supports high-resolution wavelength measurements and multi-channel testing across distributed test stations.

– Typical Applications
The SWS15106 is deployed for precise measurement and characterization of passive fiberoptic devices including:
• Couplers and splitters
• Isolators and wavelength division multiplexers (WDM/DWDM)
• Attenuators and optical switches
• Fiber Bragg gratings and waveguide devices
• Gain flatteners and interleavers
• Return loss, insertion loss, and polarization dependent loss (PDL) measurement
– Compatibility & Integration
The SWS15106 integrates with JDS Uniphase systems including SWS2000 Series, SWS15100 Series, SWS16100 Series, OWB10002 Optical Workbench Receiver Chassis, and the Environmental Test System OCETS. It typically operates alongside the SWS15107 Detector Module as part of a complete characterization platform.
