Ra. Becker et Be. Kincaid, CHARGE-TO-PHOTON TRANSDUCERS FOR PARTICLE DETECTORS FOR THE SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER-COLLIDER, Applied optics, 32(33), 1993, pp. 6690-6697
The use of massive arrays of integrated optic intensity modulators is
investigated for the purpose of transducing electrical charge to photo
ns for transmission and further processing in the Superconducting Supe
r-Collider. This involved the design of modulator arrays and packaging
approaches that are scalable to the large quantities (millions) that
are required for this application. A prototype was fabricated and eval
uated.
