Abstract

Optical links are vital components in the data transmission systems of high energy physics (HEP) experiments at CERN. With the ever higher beam fluxes achieved by the Large Hadron Collider, the optical components have to withstand higher radiation levels and handle ever-increasing data volumes. To face these challenges, the use of silicon photonics (SiPh) Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) in the next...
