Abstract
Wedemonstrate a high-speed light fidelity (LiFi) communication system deploying ultra-high brightness laser-based white light illumination sources in a surface mount device (SMD) packaging platform. The LiFi transmitter SMD source provides 450 lumens of white light output with a brightness of 1000 cd/mm2 in a dual wavelength configuration comprising blue and infrared (IR) emitting laser diodes within the SMD. First, we present high-speed data transmission beyond 25 Gbit/s over a 3 meter channel distance with the combined data rates from the blue and IR lasers in the single SMD. Next, we present a 2.8 Gbit/s data rate with the dual wavelength laser SMD light source using a side-emissive fiber as the transmitter. This work proves the viability of LiFi systems deploying laser-based white light sources operating at very high data rates with the visible light and communication signal delivered in conventional free-space transmission architectures along with novel configurations using side-emitting fibers.
