Gbps Long-Distance Real-Time Visible Light Communications Using a High-Bandwidth GaN-Based Micro-LED

In this investigation, we experimentally demonstrated a high-speed Gbps long-distance real-time visible light communication system based on non-return-to-zero on-off keying modulation by using a high-bandwidth Gallium nitride-based micro-LED with a modulation bandwidth of ∼230 ...
