Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Quantum well (QW) diodes have the capability to function as a light-emitting diode or a photodiode and inherently feature a partial emission-detection spectral overlap. Therefore, QW diode can sense light emission from another diode sharing the same QW active region. In association with distributed Bragg reflection (DBR) technique, we here present a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) visible light communication (VLC) over a single channel by using vertical assembly of red, green, and blue (RGB) QW diodes. The identical QW diodes separately functioning as a transmitter and a receiver establish a wireless communications link. The DBRs enable the transmission of longer-wavelength photons or the reflection of shorter-wavelength photons, creating an optical bandpass filter in conjunction with emission-detection spectral overlap, effectively boosting the capacity of an initially single communication channel. Both the transmitter and the receiver can be switched freely by software, forming time-division multiplexing (TDM) wireless light communication system using single optical path. We unite TDM and WDM together to demonstrate real-time TDM multichannel bidirectional communication using the vertical integration of RGB QW diodes, offering the great potential to establish TDM-WDM VLC.
