Abstract
The microelectronics and photonics test bed (MPTB) operated by NRL is intended to provide an experimental platform for the evaluation of the effects of radiation damage on advanced microelectronic circuits and photonic devices. While several systems exist to monitor the accumulation of dose from ionizing radiation in space, little attention has been given to the accumulation of bulk damage in semiconductors. This is of increasing concern when using sensitive detectors for example for astronomical imaging or star-sensing. The bulk damage monitor experiment is designed as a prototype module to monitor the accumulation of bulk damage and uses a sensitive linear charge coupled device in a system designed to accurately monitor the effect of non- ionizing radiation. The experiment, which is light weight, with very low average power consumption and telemetry volume, may form one element in future dosimetry systems on- board spacecraft.
