The devices are designed for wavelengths from visible (450 nm) to infrared (1300 nm). LEDs and LDs show a reduction of light output power and LDs also a shift of threshold current after irradiation. With the LEDs we also measured the light power distribution on the chip surface. Irradiations of PDs with /sup 60/Co gammas up to a total dose of 10/sup 6/ Gy as well as irradiations with neutrons up to fluences of 3/spl times/10/sup 1/3 cm/sup -2/(1 MeV) lead to a strong increase of dark current.","PeriodicalId":310087,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Third European Conference on Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123977082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The X-ray induced TSC, observed at approximately 70/spl deg/C, is due to the same trapped species responsible of the TSL emission. The stability after irradiation and dose dependence of both TSL and TSC signals have also been investigated.
