VIAVI Solutions mOSA module

VIAVI Solutions has introduced the mOSA module, adding optical spectrum analysis to the VIAVI Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Optical Manufacturing Test system. The module complements the company’s existing products for optical power measurement, switching and signal conditioning, and test automation, further enhancing a comprehensive test portfolio for development and manufacturing of optical communications technology.

The module is said to offer high-quality web and touchscreen user interfaces, with a 30% improvement in measurement resolution compared to similar products on the market. A member of the LightDirect family of hot-swappable test modules, the single-slot device is a fraction of the size of legacy optical spectrum analysers, reducing the valuable automated manufacturing test system footprint by up to six rack units. Joining the 17 application modules already released for the VIAVI MAP system, the product allows users to leverage the full integrated power of the optical test platform.
