An optical readout and shielding against electromagnetic pulses (EMP) has been developed as part of the ELI Beamlines/IEAP project for hybrid silicon pixel detector Timepix and it significantly improved its resistence to electromagnetic pulses (EMP). The setup was successfully tested under vacuum at Prague Asterix Laser Systém (PALS) during experiments with laser pulses of energies up to 700 J and duration of 350 ps bombarding thin solid target.
