dc.description.abstract | Visible Light Communications (VLC) is a promising new technology which could offer higher data transmission rates than existing broadband RF/microwave wireless technologies. In this paper, we show that a blend of semiconducting polymers can be used to make a broadband, balanced color converter with a very high modulation bandwidth to replace commercial phosphors in hybrid LEDs for visible light communications. The resulting color converter exploits partial Förster energy transfer in a blend of the highly fluorescent green emitter BBEHP-PPV and orange-red emitting MEH-PPV. We quantify the efficiency of the photoinduced energy transfer from BBEHP-PPV to MEH-PPV, and demonstrate modulation bandwidths (electrical-electrical) of ∼200 MHz, which are 40 times higher than commercially available phosphor LEDs. Furthermore, the VLC data rate achieved with this blend using On-Off Keying (OOK) is many times (∼35) higher than that measured with a commercially available phosphor color converter. | |
