Abstract
The foreseen upgrades for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the CERN Experiments increase the radiation tolerance requirements for the optical readout of the Detectors. The High Luminosity upgrade of the LHC is set to improve integrated luminosity by tenfold compared to the original LHC design in the upcoming years. As a result, the quantity of particle collisions during a given period of time will considerably rise, leading to a significant increase in generated data. High-speed optical data transmission is used to transfer the data produced by the particle detectors to the data collection point. This work analyses the impact of neutron radiation on Silicon Photonics, which is a candidate technology for next generation of radiation tolerant transceivers for High Energy Physics (HEP) applications.
The EP-ESE-BE Section at CERN is conducting an R&D project to develop radiation-resistant Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) for usage in the LHC detector harsh environment
