## JDSU MAP-230B Modular Optical Test System

The JDSU MAP-230B is a high-performance modular optical testing platform designed for precision fiber-optic measurements, telecommunications R&D, photonic device development, and automated production testing.

This system features a powerful combination of **four independently programmable C-band tunable laser channels** and **two independent variable optical attenuators**, providing a versatile solution for advanced optical testing applications.

The MAP-200 platform enables centralized instrument control, automated testing, and integration with laboratory measurement systems.

### 4-Channel C-Band Tunable Laser – mTLG-C1

The installed mTLG-C1 tunable laser module offers four independent optical sources for wavelength-selective testing across the C-band.

Key capabilities include:

- Four independently controllable tunable laser channels
- C-band operation for DWDM and telecommunications applications
- Programmable optical frequency and output power
- Suitable for wavelength-dependent optical component characterization
- Multi-channel optical testing from a single module
- Integration with automated optical measurement setups

This module is particularly valuable for testing optical filters, multiplexers, demultiplexers, photonic integrated circuits, wavelength-selective devices, and optical amplifiers.

### Dual-Channel Variable Optical Attenuator – mVOA-A2

The installed mVOA-A2 provides two independent programmable optical attenuation channels for precise control of optical signal levels.

Key capabilities include:

- Two independent optical attenuation channels
- Programmable attenuation control
- Controlled simulation of optical transmission losses
- Receiver sensitivity and optical power testing
- Automated attenuation adjustments
- Integration with optical sources and external measurement instruments

This configuration is especially useful for telecommunications research, optical link evaluation, and laboratory test automation.

### Modular Design and System Integration

The MAP-230B mainframe provides a versatile platform for optical testing, with support for:

- Ethernet network connectivity
- IEEE-488 (GPIB) remote instrument control
- USB connectivity
- DVI external display output
- LXI trigger bus interfaces
- Remote safety interlock
- Integrated optical module management

### Condition and Performance

This system has been tested at the mainframe and software level and has **passed all built-in self-tests**. Both installed modules communicate successfully with the control system.

The equipment is in good pre-owned condition with minor cosmetic scratches consistent with normal laboratory use.

For customers requiring additional confidence in optical performance, extended functional testing and professional calibration are available as optional services.

### Optional Professional Services

**Extended Testing – $899 per module**

Additional functional and optical performance testing for customers requiring more comprehensive verification.

**Professional Calibration – $1,899 per module**

Calibration service for customers requiring calibrated optical instrumentation. Calibration scope and documentation are confirmed before service.
