Radiation Assessment of a 56-Gb/s Electro-Absorption Modulator Driver for Optical Intrasatellite Links
This article presents a radiation-hardened-by-process 56-Gb/s electro-absorption modulator (EAM) driver designed in a 130-nm silicon germanium (SiGe) bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology for application in optical intrasatellite links. Details of the driver architecture are provided, along with the electrical and optical measurement setups used to evaluate its performance. To assess the vulnerability of the driver against radiation exposure in the space environment, samples were irradiated with X-rays up to a total accumulated dose of 1.2 Mrad(Si), simulating the effects of total ionizing dose (TID) in orbit. Furthermore, heavy-ion experiments corroborated the driver’s resilience to single-event transients (SETs) across a range of linear energy transfers (LETs) from 20 to 65.2 MeV cm2/mg, with a particle fluence of $1.2\times 10^{7}$ cm−2. No single-event latchup (SEL) was observed in the irradiated samples during the heavy-ion exposure.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is a publication of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. It is viewed as the primary source of technical information in many of the areas it covers. As judged by JCR impact factor, TNS consistently ranks in the top five journals in the category of Nuclear Science & Technology. It has one of the higher immediacy indices, indicating that the information it publishes is viewed as timely, and has a relatively long citation half-life, indicating that the published information also is viewed as valuable for a number of years.
The IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science is published bimonthly. Its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of nuclear science and engineering. It focuses on instrumentation for the detection and measurement of ionizing radiation; particle accelerators and their controls; nuclear medicine and its application; effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; reactor instrumentation and controls; and measurement of radiation in space.
