In order to satisfy the requirements of future High Energy Physics Experiments with ever increasing data rates and radiation levels, alternatives to the currently used laser based optical links need to be investigated. With this motivation Silicon Photonics and its applicability for future data transmission systems in HEP experiments are explored. The advantages of a remote laser source, multi-channel integration, high transmission speeds and especially the possibility of highly integrating the data transmission system to the detector system make this technology very attractive.
In this seminar I will give a short reminder about the technology in general and the main components needed for a data transmission system. I will summarize the knowledge concerning the radiation effects on those components we gained so far by simulation and extensive radiation testing. Furthermore, I will present approaches how to further increase the radiation hardness by design and operation. At the end I will talk about the ongoing chip design work and give an outlook on the next steps to come.
