Description
During the first phase of implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure, the
installation sites will be furnished with a seafloor and shore infrastructure for
connection of the KM3NeT detection units with custom designed Digital Optical Modules
(DOMs) for detection of the Cherenkov light of the charged particles created in
neutrino-induced collisions in and in the vicinity of the neutrino detectors. The
design of the KM3NeT readout and data transmission system is based on 1.25 Gbs
photonics technologies using lasers and DWDMs (Dense Wavelength Division
Multiplexers). The architecture can handle common standard transmission protocols. We
will present the design and implementation choices for the technologies employed in
the current realization of the infrastructures at the KM3NeT-Fr and KM3NeT-It
installation sites.
