PULSE DIGITAL TO OPTICAL CONVERTER FOR NUCLEAR ELECTRONICS

• Abstract:

  Digital-to-optical converter was developed specially for pile-up and deadtime characterization of nuclear devices, but its application is probably wider. The converter generates 10 ns-wide pulses in visible (660 nm) range, with 8-bit resolution of the optical power, the data rate is up to 20 Ms/s. The output optical pulses are generated by high-luminosity LED diode coupled to the optical fibre. A crucial task of the design is eliminating of influence of the parasitic capacitances in fast switching mode.
