An electro-optic detector is used in particle accelerators to encode the longitudinal beam charge profile in the spectrum of a light pulse. The high-speed optical line detector (HOLD) is a linear camera integrated with scientific experiments, utilizing modern FPGA circuits for efficient data collection and processing. HOLD, based on Xilinx 7-Series FPGA circuits and a KALYPSO sensor from KIT, outperforms comparable commercial devices as one of the fastest line cameras in the world.
An electro-optic detector is one of the diagnostic setups used in particle accelerators. It employs an electro-optic crystal to encode the longitudinal beam charge profile in the spectrum of a light pulse. The charge distribution is then reconstructed using data captured by a fast spectrometer. The measurement repetition rate should match or exceed the machine bunching frequency, which is often in the range of several MHz. A high-speed optical line detector (HOLD) is a linear camera designed for easy integration with scientific experiments. The use of modern FPGA circuits helps in the efficient collection and processing of data. The solution is based on Xilinx 7-Series FPGA circuits and implements a custom latency-optimized architecture utilizing the AXI4 family of interfaces. HOLD is one of the fastest line cameras in the world. Thanks to its hardware architecture and a powerful KALYPSO sensor from KIT, it outperforms the fastest comparable commercial devices.
