Neutron, proton and gamma radiation effects in candidate InGaAs p-i-n photodiodes for the CMS tracker optical links
نویسنده
چکیده
InGaAs p-i-n photodiodes will be used in the CMS tracker to receive the digital timing and control signals transmitted from the Front End Controller (FEC) boards by 1310nm wavelength lasers. These devices should be sufficiently rad-hard to survive the fluences/doses encountered in the tracker during a ten year operational period. Candidate p-i-n diodes have been irradiated, in a fully packaged, fibre-pigtailed form, with up to 10neutrons/cm (=6MeV), 4x10 protons/cm 2 (Ep=24GeV) and 100kGy Co photons. Displacement damage from the neutron and proton irradiation caused the leakage current to increase by 6-7 orders of magnitude and the responsivity to decrease by 90% after ~10p/cm 2 or 10n/cm. Gamma damage was almost negligible in comparison.

Pion radiation damage in InGaAs p-i-n photodiodes
Fully packaged InGaAs p-i-n photodiodes for use in CMS Tracker optical digital timing and control links have been irradiated at room temperature with 330MeV positive pions. Measurements of the leakage current and photocurrent response were made in-situ for pion fluences up to 3.9x10π/cm. The leakage current increases from <1nA to 40μA at 5V reverse bias and the photocurrent for 100μW incident o...

Optical data links are being developed at CERN for use in the tracking system of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment to be operated at the future CERN Large Hadron Collider. The radiation environment will be severe in the CMS tracker; simulations predict hadronic fluences >10/cm over an experimental lifetime of ten years, consisting of a mixture of neutrons, pions and protons over a wide...

The effects of thermally accelerated ageing in irradiated and unirradiated 1310nm InGaAsP edge-emitting lasers and InGaAs p-i-n photodiodes are presented. 40 lasers (20 irradiated) and 30 photodiodes (19 irradiated) were aged for 4000 hours at 80°C. Periodic measurements were made of laser threshold and efficiency, and pi-n leakage current and photocurrent. There were no sudden failures and the...

The CMS tracker optical readout links must fulfill demanding requirements such as radiation hardness, high reliability, small size, low power dissipation and low cost while maintaining a high analogue transmission quality during the experiment lifetime. The concept adopted for the CMS tracker is based on edge emitting InGaAsP semiconductor lasers coupled to pure silica core single mode fibre at...
متن کاملAn 80Mbit/s radiation tolerant Optical Receiver for the CMS digital optical link
The CMS tracker slow control system will use approximately 1000 digital optical links for the transmission of timing, trigger and control signals. In this system, the 80Mbit/s optical receiver at the detector end of each optical link has to be radiation hard since it will operate in the severe radiation environment of the CMS tracker (10 Mrad in 10 years). We have developed a prototype circuit ...
