Scientists use far ultraviolet LEDs to transmit data at a record 1.5 Gbps
A collaboration of researchers from the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) in Berlin and the Universities of Strathclyde and Cambridge in the UK have achieved a data transfer record using far-ultraviolet LEDs. The researchers clocked up 1.5 gigabits per second using their novel LEDs, a record for wireless optical communication below a wavelength of 235 nanometers (nm).
