Influence of radiation damage on the absorption of near-infrared light in silicon

The absorption length, λabs, of light with wavelengths between 0.95 and 1.30 μm in silicon irradiated with 24 GeV/c protons to 1 MeV neutron equivalent fluences up to 8.6×1015 cm−2 has been measured. It is found that λabs decreases with fluence due to radiation-induced defects. A phenomenological pa...

Zusammenfassung:The absorption length, λabs, of light with wavelengths between 0.95 and 1.30 μm in silicon irradiated with 24 GeV/c protons to 1 MeV neutron equivalent fluences up to 8.6×1015 cm−2 has been measured. It is found that λabs decreases with fluence due to radiation-induced defects. A phenomenological parametrization of the radiation-induced change of λabs as a function of wavelength and neutron equivalent fluence at room temperature is given. The observation of the decrease of λabs with irradiation is confirmed by edge-TCT measurements on irradiated silicon strip detectors. Using the measured wavelength dependence of λabs, the change of the silicon band-gap with fluence is determined.
