Abstract :
The goal of this study is the conception of a radiation tolerant absolute optical encoder. This paper describes the design methodology and results of characterization under Co60 radiations up to a total integrated dose of 100 kGy(Si). This hardening design can be used to produce equipments with total dose specification more than 100 kGy(Si)
