Abstract

We have studied the effect of proton irradiation with energies from 21 to 200 MeV on commercial optocouplers. The basic degradation mechanisms for such devices are reviewed. Our experimental results are described. Using the concept of displacement damage dose, we propose a new approach to analyze the results.
