Abstract :
This work investigates the degradation of several different optocouplers for space applications. Hardened and standard (unhardened) types are tested under proton, neutron and Co60 irradiations under various bias, fluence and dose rate conditions. An attempt to define an industrial cost-effective test procedure is proposed.
