Description
Silicon photonics is a game-changing readout technology for detectors, including those required for next-generation collider experiments, combining extremely high throughput and low power with immunity to crosstalk and a low heat load for cryogenic detectors. We will present early results from a Lab-Directed Research & Development program which aims to demonstrate a practical Silicon-Photonic readout with 20 Gb/s/channel bandwidth of a pixel detector readout integrated circuit, including the design of CMOS ring drivers and a high-speed FPGA readout solution, and we will show early results from implementing the link with commercial optical hardware. We will also show high-speed data modulation (+10Gb/s) at 4K deep cryogenics with 100fJ/b energy-efficiencies, and also resonance tuning capabilities using phase-change materials.
