The JDSU mSWS-A2DM is a quad detector module designed for the MAP-200 and MAP-300 optical test platforms. It serves as a four-channel power meter within the Swept Wavelength System (SWS) and enables full wavelength-dependent characterization of passive optical components and modules. The module supports detailed performance validation of ROADMs, wavelength switches, tunable filters, and circuit packs, and integrates with ORL utility cassettes for return loss measurements.
Technical Specifications
• Wavelength range: 1520 to 1630 nm
