Abstract
A prototype of a readout system developed for high spatial precision t racking detectors at LHC has been tested in a beam at CERN. It is base d on a radiation hard CMOS front-end chip which includes signal amplif ication, storage in an analogue delay line and a deconvolution filter. Data were transferred from the front-end chip using an analogue fibre optic link employing a novel reflective electro-optic modulator and c ontinuous laser light source remote from the detector. This is the fir st time such a system has been used in an experimental environment and is the basis of the system proposed for the CMS experiment at LHC.
