LHCb Parallel Optical Readout Link Homepage

Home Trackers E-mail Notes Meetings Subsystems Search

This page is intended as a repository for information related to the parallel optical link system used by various LHCb subdetectors. It is far from being exclusive and complete, so if you have any information to add, please contact me and help me making this page better.

There is also an LHCb mailing list dealing with the optical link. If you are interested, please contact Nathalie Grub to join.

DISCLAIMER: The list of companies displayed is ONLY based on my current knowledge. It is by no means a recommendation. Again, if anybody knows more, see above.
