The characterization of induced defects was made by capacitance transients C(t) measurements, DLTS spectroscopy, and optical DLTS (ODLTS). DLTS spectra present three peaks (1, 2, and 3) due to deep levels created in the semiconductor and two peaks (4 and 5) due to minority carrier generation. Levels 1 and 2 are reported in the literature and it was suggested that the level 2 may be due to the divacancy. Two other minority carrier traps have been observed on ODLTS spectra after irradiation. This can explain the decrease of the minority carrier generation lifetime observed by capacitance transients measurements.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.

The analog data is converted by the SPT7760 at 1 Giga-sample per second (Gsps). These types of data handling applications can typically withstand a relatively high bit error ratio (BER).

The induced absorption in H/sub 2/-loaded fibers is shown to be much lower than in as-drawn fibers, at least up to 1.2 MG.y A 'blue' band prevails in the luminescence spectra of all the fibers. Its intensity is greater in a KS-4V fiber than in a KU fiber. It is also somewhat greater in H/sub 2/-loaded fibers than in unloaded ones. The luminescence lifetime in a KU fiber has been measured under excitation with a pulsed reactor to be 100 /spl mu/s at /spl lambda/=88 nm and 60 /spl mu/s at /spl lambda/=633 nm. It is concluded that the 'blue' radioluminescence cannot be attributed either to relaxation of the oxygen-deficient center or to Cerenkov emission.

Such fibers appear to be the best candidates for various applications in radiation environments.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.

It allows the expected total fluence to be calculated for a given confidence level and for time periods corresponding to space missions. The new model is in reasonable agreement with the JPL91 model over common proton energy range of >1 to >60 MeV. The current model extends this energy range to >300 MeV. It also incorporates more recent data which tends to make predicted fluences slightly higher than JPL91. For the first time, an analytic solution is obtained for this problem of accumulated fluence over a mission. Several techniques are used, including maximum entropy, to show the solution is well represented as a lognormal probability distribution of the total fluence. The advantages are that it is relatively easy to work with and to update as more solar proton event data become available.","PeriodicalId":135784,"journal":{"name":"1999 Fifth European Conference on Radiation and Its Effects on Components and Systems.
