Abstract
The effect of neutron radiation on light emitters and optical fibers at cryogenic temperatures (-184/spl deg/C) has been investigated as part of the development of an analogue optical link, intended for use at future high energy physics experiments. The LED's were also exposed to a gamma radiation dose of 3 Mrad. High radiance GaAs LED's, quantum-well LED's, quantum-well laser diodes and optical fibers have been exposed to neutron radiation reaching fluences of 10/sup 15/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/.
