MAP Swept Wavelength System (mSWS)

Test solution for manufacturing and new device development of passive DWDM devices, ROADMs & Circuit Packs. Provides full characterization of wavelength dependence performance.

The new MAP-200 based Swept Wavelength Test System (mSWS) series represents the continued evolution of VIAVI’s industry standard solution for measuring insertion loss (IL), polarization dependent loss (PDL), return loss (RL) and directivity of DWDM devices.

It provides the optical performance required for high wavelength resolution testing in both research and development (R&D) and production environments of next-gen DWDM devices.

Currently used at more than 100 customer sites, with over 9000 detector channels deployed, the SWS test platform validates optical performance for the latest in optical components and modules including: ROADMs, Wavelength Switches, Tunable Filters and Circuit Packs. The SWS system consists of a tunable laser source, a source optics module (SOM), a control module, a receiver chassis, one or more detector modules and application software

NOTE: Protect your investment in a VIAVI Swept Wavelength System by ensuring it is always operating at its best. VIAVI provides multiple mSWS Calibration service options designed to align with the diverse customer needs

Benefits

Increases manufacturing throughput without sacrificing performance – at twice the speed: mSWS enables full characterization of a high port-count CDC ROADM and does so twice as fast as competing solutions, while maintaining specifications at maximum sweep speed.
Reduces the test station footprint by 50 percent and minimizes overhead OpEx: mSWS doubles the number of power meters in each test module.
Minimizes the CapEx required to add test stations with with the industry’s most cost-effective solution: the mSWS helps quickly scale manufacturing with up to eight test stations that can be supported by one distributed tunable laser transmitter.…

Product Group	Recommend Plan	Bronze	Silver	Maxcare	Why Calibrate?
MAP (Mainframe/Module)	Bronze-3				It is essential in manufacturing environment to ensure your product meets the published/customer requirements. Having accurate measurements ensures highest possible yields whilst maintaining product specifications. Ensuring all that the optical test equipment is performing as designed and calibrated is requirement in achieving that goal. Viavi will validate measurement accuracies conform to published specifications. Maintain connectors and pigtails. Factory standards to ensure accuracy MAP VIAVI is a TL9000 company and calibrates this instrument based on general requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2005) to ensure your instrument is certified to measure accurately. Instruments that are out of calibration will produce unreliable measurements and can create false passing or false failing test results that often cause your team repeat work. We maintain, polish and clean all fiber connectors, fix pigtail connections that are internal to the product to ensure all parts stay in good working order and upgrade software / firmware to the latest approved release to enable enhancements. VIAVI Care Plans are the most cost-effective way to plan for calibration with a low, discounted price at the time of instrument purchase. Fixed rate calibration can also be purchased later via a separate purchase order. Ensure accurate measurements that meet design expectations and optical budgets. Maintain ports and connectors to keep signals working properly and to extend the life of the instrument. For example, if optical connectors or lasers are bad or interface ports are loose then after repeated connection cycles, optical measurements may be inaccurate or damage may occur. When manufacturing optical network products, accurate, reliable and repeatable optical measurement performance is essential to compliance with published/committed product specifications Know that optical product design, product manufacturing and customer expectations are accurate and in alignment throughout product lifecycle Why calibrate this product? Inaccurate measurements may prevent verification of power levels or introduce other measurement uncertainties, errors and artifacts. Out-of-calibration instruments can result in design errors, production problems, end customer escalations, increased failure rates, audit non-compliance or even ultimately loss of business. What are the most common implications of these issues to the MAP business? Uncalibrated tools produce unreliable measurement results that can't be certified to specifications and may violate product agreements or ISO/TL9000 standards with your customers and their network equipment vendors. Design errors resulting from inaccurate measurements can result in ongoing issues throughout the product lifecycle including poor yields, inaccurate optical budgets, increased return rates and customer expectation mismatch. Production costs can be elevated by increased re-work, reduced yield and inconsistencies between measurements. Common Business impacts include: Lost revenue, customer complaints and increased costs. Quality audit failures. For end customers, repeat product quality issues with vendors often cause added cost, customer dissatisfaction and loss of business. What are the common issues?
