Abstract
Fiber optic links are being developed for analogue signal transfer fro m the front-end electronics of the tracker in the CMS experiment at th e CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The links are based on the direct modulation of edge-emitting lasers located inside the detector volume. The optical signals are transmitted over single mode optical fibres t o the counting room and detected using PIN photodiodes. Results recent ly obtained with a one-channel link demonstrator are reported. The ove rall performance is discussed in terms of static and dynamic responses . (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
