Description
Beam signal digitisation during FCC operation presents significant challenges for existing acquisition technologies, including the demand for high analog bandwidth, the capability to manage high repetition rates, and robustness in radiation-intense environments. In this work, we propose an electro-optical readout system based on photonic time-stretch techniques to address these limitations. In addition to enhancing acquisition performance, the use of fibre-optic technology facilitates seamless integration into large-scale accelerator facilities, where space constraints are critical. We present experimental results from a prototype currently under development, targeting future deployment during HL-LHC operation.
