Abstract
The fiber optic technology has been used to build a transmitter-receiv er system capable of delivering channeltron or PM tube signals through a few hundred meter span. The intrinsic immunity of optical fibers to e.m. noise has been used to reduce noise problems in an experimental apparatus equipped with two electrostatic analyzers for coincidence (e , 2e) spectroscopy. A coincidence energy separation spectrum of He, us ed for calibration of the apparatus energy scale, has been measured us ing fiber optic links instead of coaxial cables. The system was comple tely built using cheap and easily available commercial components. The results show that fiber optic links could become a viable technique f or noise reduction, high voltage decoupling and low temperature calori meters signal transfer.
