The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will pose unprecedented requirements in terms of timing distribution. The overall stability has to reach picosecond-levels between tens of thousands of end-points. To mitigate long-term environmental variations in the high-speed optical links, phase monitoring and online/offline compensation might be necessary. The Timing Compensated Link...
We will describe a pure clock distribution system, built with discrete RF components, that we
have used to demonstrate the precision that separate clocks generated from a single source can be
distributed within a large detector. Clock signals were distributed directly without any encoding or
clock cleaners (PLLs) through parallel 90m optical ?bers to front-end emulators. The phase...
The Versatile Link+ project is about to enter its production phase, ready for the Phase 2 HL-LHC detector upgrades. We present the status of the front-end part of the Versatile Link+ project: the Versatile Link+ Transceiver (VTRx+), which provides a low-mass, radiation tolerant, optical transmit- and receive module for tight integration in the upgrading HL-LHC detectors. We describe the...
