CMS is building a high resolution Crystal Calorimeter (ECAL) to be operated at LHC in a very harsh radiation environment.
Barrel resolution design goal :
Current effective resolution goal : <0.5% for energies above 100 GeV
Calibrating and maintaining the calibration of this device will be very challenging.Hadronic environment makes physics calibration more challenging
PWO4 Crystals change transparency under radiation.
The damage is significant (few % - up to ~5 % for CMS ECAL barrel radiation levels) compared to the desired constant term (0.5 %).
The dynamics of the transparency change is fast (few hours) compared to the time scale needed for a calibration with physics events (days - weeks - month).
⇒ Compensate by monitoring the change with a laser monitoring system.

Radiation Reduces transmittance in the blue and green, peak of PWO4 emission spectrum
Effect is dose rate dependent. Monitoring relative loss of PWO4
transmittance with pulsed laser light.
For the expected dose rate at CMS barrel (15 rad/hour), typical transmittance loss is at a level of up to ~5%.
Radiation Effects on PWO4 Transparency
Almost no effect in the red wavelength range.
Monitor with red light to separate out possible variations in the light distribution system and the readout chain.

PWO4 Transparency Change Characteristics
Crystal light yield changes under irradiation. Change is dose rate dependent.
Crystal light yield change under irradiation is linearly correlated with longitudinal transmittance (transparency).
Magnitude of the transparency change is crystal dependent.
Transparency change recovers at room temperature. Recovery time is crystal dependent with two time constants, one of few 10 hours and one >1000 hours.

In-Situ Monitoring & LHC Bunch Train
Abort Gap
Abort gaps occur at ~10 kHz - Laser pulses at ~100 Hz ⇒ Use ~1% of gaps. Measure transparency of all crystals from one half-module at a time. 600 laser shots for
one transparency measurement. Laser pulse latency ~4 µs
⇒ Scan entire ECAL every 20 minutes

Long Term Laser Performance
Changes in the pulse shape of the laser are the larges systematic effect.
⇒ Precise control of laser performance is of utmost importance.

Monitoring System Performance - Stability
Typically ~0.1 % long term stability in real environment. This includes the stability of the entire readout chain - temperature, HV, etc.
⇒ We can measure the crystal transparency with better than 0.1 %.
Stability : RMS of the measured APD/PN values over a period of 4 weeks.

Running experience in CMS
ECAL Laser Farm Raw data rate for laser monitoring is 4 Mb/s.
Data is sampled by DQM and analysed in detail in a quasi-online fashion.
Aim to have transparency corrections available on the level of 0.1% at the end of a LHC fill.
So far mostly used for commissioning, debugging and timing studies of ECAL.
Stability studies are under way.

Summary
CMS ECAL Laser Monitoring System has been installed and commissioned in the final detector.
All performance criterions have so far been achieved.
Next step is to validate the stability of ECAL response to the level of 0.1 % over several weeks without irradiation.
Then, operating the system and follow the crystal transparency on the level of 0.1% over 10 years.
