Charge-to-photon transducers for particle detectors for the superconducting super-collider.
The use of massive arrays of integrated optic intensity modulators is investigated for the purpose of transducing electrical charge to photons for transmission and further processing in the Superconducting Super-Collider. This involved the design of modulator arrays and packaging approaches that are scalable to the large quantities (millions) that are required for this application. A prototype was fabricated and evaluated.
