Future upgrades of CERN experiments will require low power optical data links to support ever-increasing data-rates at ever-higher radiation levels. Silicon photonics is a CMOS optoelectronic technology compatible with these requirements. We present the results of an optical transceiver proof of concept based on a silicon photonics integrated circuit coupled to existing radiation tolerant electronic ASICs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
