| Research Abstract |
Mach-Zehnder type optomodulators have been studied mainly for digital signal transmission. It is desirable if we can use it for analog signal transmission in very-large-scale experiments because of its ease of logdistance signal transmission, much smaller diameter transmission cables, immunity to electromagnetic noise, low power consumption and so forth. When wwe started, optomodulator of this type had too large temperature coefficients so that it could not be used for an analog signal transmission. We started to refine our evaluation system and reached a 0.14% precision after stabilizing our light source and the rest of the evaluation system, Fujitsu had collaborated with us in developing low temperature coefficient optomodulators. After many trials, we successfully produce an optomodulator tha has low enough temperature coefficients for real use in experiments. This was reported at the 1993 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium. Since we assume it may be used in high radiation area, we studied its radiation resistance using gamma ray from cobalt 60 (1Mrad/hour). We found that the glue survived well for up to 10Mrad doze which was the maximum we tested.(To be submitted to IEEE Nucl. science Symposium).
We are expecting a multi-channel optomodulator with calibration channel built-in in a few months. We hope we can continue this R&D effort on the unit.
