Far-UVC LEDs Push Optical Data Rates
Researchers at Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH), the University of Strathclyde, and the University of Cambridge have demonstrated 1.5Gbps wireless data transmission using far-UVC micro-LEDs, establishing a record for optical communication at wavelengths below 235nm. The demonstration points to ultraviolet light as a potential complement to radio-frequency links where spectrum congestion and solar interference create challenges.
