Abstract

We demonstrate the use of deep ultraviolet (DUV) micro-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for long-distance line-of-sight optical wireless communications. With a single 285 nm-emitting micro-LED, we have respectively achieved data rates greater than 6.5 Gb/s at a distance of 10 m and 4 Gb/s at 60 m. Moreover, we obtained >1 Gb/s data rates at a distance of 116 m. To our knowledge, these results are the highest data rates at such distances thus far reported using DUV micro-LEDs and the first demonstration of Gb/s communication at >100 m using any micro-LED-based transmitter.
