Abstract

Abstract Here, we propose, fabricate and characterize suspended photonic integration of InGaN multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diode (MQW-LED), waveguide and InGaN MQW-photodetector on a single chip. The unique light emission property of InGaN MQW-LED makes it feasible to establish multi-dimensional spatial data transmission using visible light. The in-plane light communication system is comprised of InGaN MQW-LED, waveguide and InGaN MQW-photodetector, and the out-of-plane data transmission is realized by detecting the free-space light emission via a commercial photodiode module. Moreover, a full-duplex light communication is experimentally demonstrated at a data transmission rate of 50 Mbps when both InGaN MQW-diodes operate under simultaneous light emission and detection mode. The in-plane superimposed signals are able to be extracted through the self-interference cancellation method, and the out-of-plane superimposed signals are in good agreement with the calculated signals according to the extracted transmitted signals. These results are promising for the development of on-chip InGaN photonic integration for diverse applications.
