A prototype LED/PIN diode optical data link for the ATLAS semiconductor tracker

An optical data transmission system based on LED/fibre/PIN diodes is described. This system is suitable for the read out of data from the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT). The elements of the system are described and results are given for the performance of a complete chain. The system will be used...

Description
Summary:An optical data transmission system based on LED/fibre/PIN diodes is described. This system is suitable for the read out of data from the ATLAS SemiConductor Tracker (SCT). The elements of the system are described and results are given for the performance of a complete chain. The system will be used for beam tests of SCT detector modules. Adaptations of the prototype planned for the production system are discussed.
