Motivation• Develop and adapt new technologies to improve

optical communication in HEP experiments– Increase speed, reduce the mass of the system, Increase

reliability

• Test operation of new devices with the environmental conditions of – Radiation hardness, low temperature operation, Reliability

• Introduce the technologies to real detectors• Investigate techniques to eliminate fibers, cables

and connectorsApril 10, 2023 2

Page 3: Anl Optical

Issues with Current HEP Optical Links• Most LHC optical link failures are due to VCSEL failures and

broken solder joints – More spare links (?)

• VCSELs need– High current driver chips (radiation hard) which need a lot of power

and control wires– Power cables (to supply current)– Need to tune links individually (need control wires) – Cooling/Heating

• ESD/moisture sensitivity– Issue with custom packaging (non industry)

• High current density • Radiation tolerance

– Commercial VCSEL's have only limited radiation tolerance, which is probably not adequate

High bandwidth: no chirp commercial systems work >10 Gb/s/channel

Low material budget : Less total power inside detector less cooling needed (stainless steel/copper) Fewer control wires

Higher reliability: Laser sources outside the detector, Don’t need separate high current drivers, less radiation/ESD/humidity sensitivity

Smaller in size Modulators/PIN diodes can be integrated into a single die

Detector Applications: Requirements• Calorimeters (Tile, Liquid Argon):

– Highly serialized data fast (8-10 Gb/s links)– Less radiation ( ~1013 Protons/cm2 )– Standard interface with industry standards (snap 12?) – Reliability is an issue because there can be no access for years

• Tracker(pixel detector, silicon tracker)– More data fast (atlas pixel: 5Gb/s out)– High radiation (~1015 Protons/cm2 ) – Low temperature operation (~-20 C )– Reliable (no access after the detector closed)– Low power consumption (VCSEL based ~40mW/channel)– Less mass (material inside)– Custom interface (LVDS input)

Advances are Needed in Procuring Modulators ANL Bench tests use LiNO3 modulators – fast, rad hard, but not small MIT and IBM have prototypes of modulators to be made inside CMOS chips

It would cost us several x $100k for 2 foundry runs to make these for ourselves Currently both designs are not being actively pursued

We may have found a vendor (Jenoptik) for small modulators who will work with us on ones which can be wire-bonded and have single-mode fiber connections Need to test for radiation hardness of these

There are commercial transceiver of small size such as LUX5010A (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=4528356&tag=1) Fit most of the requirements, need to find out radiation hardness and low

temperature operation9

Page 10: Anl Optical

Collaboration with industry

• Testing radiation hardness of commercial modulators

• Design and construct a radiation-hard silicon modulator chip

• Building a transceiver• Communication within different layers to

improve the trigger efficiency

Testing Plan for (Jenoptik/Molex) • Test the operation at -20C• Few Total Ionizing Dose (TID) testing rounds at

ANL with electrons– Test unmodified devices first.– Can give some feedback and If request for

modifications to standard device is accepted these also to be tested

– Test using 200 MeV protons up to 1015 Protons/cm2 – Couple of batches (improve/unmodified..etc)

Main Parts of Project1. Design of lens systems to send and receive

modulated laser light through free space. 2. Incorporate modulators to modulate the laser beam3. Use MEMS mirror to guide the beam to the receiver

and the use of a feedback mechanism to keep the beam locked to the receiver.

4. Setup for bit error rate testing5. Demonstrate practical application, e.g. ANL DHCAL at

Fermilab (this application not yet funded)

The commercial MEMS mirrors have ~40 dB resonance peaks at 1 and 3 KHz.

To use the direct feedback, developed an inverse Chebyshev filter which has a notch at 1 kHz, and appropriate phase characteristics (Left Figure)

With the filter we were able to make the beam follow a reflecting lens target within about 10 μm when the target moved about 1 mm (Right Figure).

Still has some fundamental issues at large excursion (~1 cm)

A separate feedback link solves this issue

A test setup used to demonstrate MEMS mirror steering with an analog control loop which compensates for the mirror resonances at 1 and 3 KHz.

Studies of Direct Feedback Concept

Page 22: Anl Optical

Feedback from Reflections• A quadrant detector is used to find the position of the

receiver– Is it possible to find the absolute position of the

receiver? – Effects of:

• Size of the beam spot at detectors• Surface radius of the reflecting lens (hard to find many lenses)• Size of the reflecting lens• Distance between the detectors

April 10, 2023 22

Different issues we understood and later fixed

Beam too small Detector too small

Page 23: Anl Optical

After Quadrant Detector and Alignment Beam Fixed • Quadrant detectors are now designed for optimum sensor

separation– Limited working range is due to the size of the reflecting lens

This is better since the x-y correlations are insignificant and most of the part is it linear.

The figures show a 3D finite element analysis of the MEMS designed. The upper panel shows the top view of the mirror and the bottom panel a bottom view.

Argonne Center for NanoScale Materials, CNM, has designed and simulated novel MEMS mirrors that should solve the problems of commercial mirrors

The mirror is supported laterally and it can be actuated using 4 torsional actuators located in the vicinity.

More stable mirror with better mechanical noise rejection.

Under fabrication and we expect to have them available for testing very soon.

Accomplishments in Beams in Air

• Steering using reflections from the receiver system, without wires. We made a major improvement by separating data link and the alignment link.

• Found ways to form beams and receive beams that reduce critical alignments, reducing time and money for setup.

• 1.25 Gb/s over 1550 nm in air, using a modulator to impose data, and FPGA to check for errors, <10-14 error rate, with target moving about 1 cm x 1 cm at 1 m.

• Control of MEMS mirror which has high Q resonance (using both Analog and Digital filter)

• Studied in detail the properties of asphere and GRIN lenses to find the best option to send/receive the laser beam in air• Transmitter on MEMS mirror (Data Laser)

• We knew that aspheres can produce the best beam to transmit but aspheres have very restricted acceptance angle. Important for capture lens.

Beams in Air: Size vs DistanceDue to diffraction, there is an optimum diameter for a beam for a given

distance in order to reduce 1/r2 losses

The Rayleigh distance acts much like Beta-Star in accelerators – Relates waist size and divergence– Depends on wavelength

If we start with a diameter too small for the distance of interest, the beam will diverge, and will become 1/r2 at the receiver, and we will have large losses (We can still focus what we get to a small device like an APD or PIN diode ). This is typical of space, Satellite, etc. applications.

If we start with an optimum diameter, the waist can be near the receiver, and we can capture almost all the light and focus it to a small spot

Examples, ~ 1 mm for 1 m, ~ 50 mm for 1 Km
