8 HF Laser/LED Calibration Issues Test Beam 2002 Insufficient light intensity –low laser output power laser used at test beam misaligned or badly focused? –attenuation of UV in fibers move laser downstairs / use DYE (blue) laser –small efficiency in 1 4 splitter, CALIB Box, CLI improvements under investigation – see below –low LED light use brighter LEDs and drive at higher bias voltage? Non-uniformity as seen by PMTs (~20%) –mostly due to light guides and calibration fibers downstream of CLI

17 Outlook (laser calibration) Improvements: –UV laser downstairs or DYE laser 1.8 –Better CALIB Box efficiency 10 –Better CLI efficiency 10 Efficiency of 1 8 splitter = 1.3% overall efficiency increased by ~ 2 Possible laser power recovered up to ~10 times (to be confirmed with measurements)
18
18 Outlook (LED calibration) LED subsystem is independent of splitter efficiency and UV attenuation Improvements: –use more powerful LEDs assume this to be compensated by gate 100ns → 25ns –improve CALIB Box and CLI as above overall efficiency increased by ~ 100
