Abstract

Owing to emission-detection spectral overlap, a quantum well (QW) diode can detect shorter-wavelength photons emitted from another diode sharing the same QW active region. Therefore, a wireless light communication system can be established by using identical QW diodes that function separately as transmitters and receivers. Here, we investigate the irreversibility between light emission and detection of the QW diode and present a time-division multiplexing (TDM) visible light communication (VLC) network using five identical blue QW diodes that are defined by software as transmitters or receivers to achieve real-time TDM-integrated interconnection via the same optical paths. These results indicate the great potential of realizing an advanced TDM VLC network for diverse applications.
