Abstract
Two kinds of optical-link technologies have been investigated for the readout of data at LHC experiments; one based on LEDs and the other on Multi-Quantum-Well modulators. Presented in this paper are the result s of irradiating LEDs and MQW modulators with 1MeV-equivalent neutrons and 24GeV protons. The devices were biased and the performances of th e optical links were monitored throughout the tests. The fluences achi eved were similar to 5 x 10(14) n cm(-2) and similar to 6 x 10(13) p c m(-2).
