Title: Modulation of LED Photo-Luminescence for Underwater Optical Communications
An optical wireless communication approach that exploits the photo-luminescent radiation of LEDs is presented. In this approach the photo-luminescence of an array of LEDs is modulated by varying the impedance connected to the LEDs. The LEDs are also employed to harvest radiant energy making possible fully passive optical communications tags. Possible applications of this approach include short-range underwater communications. Initial experimental results suggest that communication speeds of few kilobits per second can be achieved.  more » « less

    Although AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been studied extensively, their quantum efficiency and optical output power still remain extremely low compared to the InGaN-based visible color LEDs. Electron leakage has been identified as one of the most possible reasons for the low internal quantum efficiency (IQE) in AlGaN based UV LEDs. The integration of a p-doped AlGaN electron blocking layer (EBL) or/and increasing the conduction band barrier heights with prompt utilization of higher Al composition quantum barriers (QBs) in the LED could mitigate the electron leakage problem to an extent, but not completely. In this context, we introduce a promising approach to alleviate the electron overflow without using EBL by utilizing graded concave QBs instead of conventional QBs in AlGaN UV LEDs. Overall, the carrier transportation, confinement capability and radiative recombination are significantly improved. As a result, the IQE, and output power of the proposed concave QB LED were enhanced by ~25.4% and ~25.6% compared to the conventional LED for emission at ~254 nm, under 60 mA injection current.

  2. Abstract

    The achievable rate of information transfer in optical communications is determined by the physical properties of the communication channel, such as the intrinsic channel noise. Bosonic phase noise channels, a class of non-Gaussian channels, have emerged as a relevant noise model in quantum information and optical communication. However, while the fundamental limits for communication over Gaussian channels have been extensively studied, the properties of communication over Bosonic phase noise channels are not well understood. Here we propose and demonstrate experimentally the concept of optimized communication strategies for communication over phase noise channels to enhance information transfer beyond what is possible with conventional methods of modulation and detection. Two key ingredients are generalized constellations of coherent states that interpolate between standard on-off keying and binary phase-shift keying formats, and non-Gaussian measurements based on photon number resolving detection of the coherently displaced signal. For a given power constraint and channel noise strength, these novel strategies rely on joint optimization of the input alphabet and the measurement to provide enhanced communication capability over a non-Gaussian channel characterized in terms of the error rate as well as mutual information.

  3. The realization of interfaces between the biological world and elec- tronics has the potential to propel the field of Molecular Commu- nication (MC) to novel frontiers. Plugging MC-enabled devices to our electrical cyber-world will enable revolutionary applications, especially in the biomedical field. By stemming from a seminal proof-of-concept prototype that enables communication between a biological system and an electrical circuit, based on redox biochem- ical reactions, this paper introduces the first frequency analysis of such system and its characterization in terms of communication performance (capacity). To achieve these results, made possible by a linearity property in the analytical model of the system, an em- pirical methodology is followed to obtain the frequency response and the noise power spectral density of the system from the results of a simulation framework. The latter was developed in prior work and made accessible publicly through a web app. A water filling capacity estimation algorithm is applied to the obtained results to give a preliminary idea on the communication performance of such system, which results in a transmission rate equivalent to 0.0587 bits/hour. While orders of magnitude slower than common electrical or optical communications, these results are in line with the inherent timescales of the biological systems envisioned to be interfaced with this technology.

  4. A central question in free-space optical communications is how to improve the transfer of information between a transmitter and a receiver. The capacity of the communication channel can be increased by multiplexing of independent modes using either: (1) the multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) approach, where communication is done with modes obtained from the singular value decomposition of the transfer matrix from the transmitter array to the receiver array, or (2) the orbital angular momentum (OAM) approach, which uses vortex beams that carry angular momenta. In both cases, the number of usable modes is limited by the finite aperture of the transmitter and receiver, and the effect of the turbulent atmosphere. The goal of this paper is twofold: first, we show that the MIMO and OAM multiplexing schemes are closely related. Specifically, in the case of circular apertures, the leading singular vectors of the transfer matrix, which are useful for communication, are essentially the same as the commonly used Laguerre–Gauss vortex beams, provided these have a special radius that depends on the wavelength, the distance from the transmitter to the receiver, and the ratio of the radii of their apertures. Second, we characterize the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the communication modes using the phase screen method put in the mathematical framework of beam propagation in random media.

    Because noise is inherent to all measurements, optical communication requires error identification and correction to protect and recover user data. Yet, error correction, routinely used in classical receivers, has not been applied to receivers that take advantage of quantum measurement. Here, we show how information uniquely available in a quantum measurement can be employed for efficient error correction. Our quantum-enabled forward error correction protocol operates on quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and achieves more than 80 dB error suppression compared to the raw symbol error rate and approximately 40 dB improvement of symbol error rates beyond the QPSK classical limit. With a symbol error rate below 10−9 for just 11 photons per bit, this approach enables reliable use of quantum receivers for ultra-low power optical communications. Limiting optical power improves the information capacity of optical links and enables scalable networks with coexisting quantum and classical channels in the same optical fiber.
