Abstract
A description is given of the light-injection calibration system that has been developed for the MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The system is based upon pulsed blue LEDs monitored by PIN photodiodes. It is designed to measure non-linearities in the PMT gain curves, as well as monitoring any drifts in PMT gain, at the 1% level.

Additional Information: | I and my group were responsible for designing, developing, delivering the light-injection calibration system essential to MINOS, a major international neutrino-oscillation experiment that confirmed (atmospheric) neutrino oscillations and mass splitting. I wrote this paper. My approach copied on several experiments since. |
