Abstract
The effect of neutron radiation on light emitters and optical fibers a t cryogenic temperatures (-184 degrees C) has been investigated as par t of the development of an analogue optical link, intended for use at future high energy physics experiments. The LED's were also exposed to a gamma radiation dose of 3 Mrad. High radiance GaAs LED's, quantum-w ell LED's, quantum-well laser diodes and optical fibers have been expo sed to neutron radiation reaching fluences of 10(15) neutrofis/cm(2).
