In this Letter, we report high-speed integrated 14 µm in diameter micro-light-emitting diode (μLED) arrays with the parallel configuration, including

array monotonically increases (
∼

times higher) as the number of arrays increases (1 to 10), while retaining the fast modulation bandwidth. A clear eye diagram up to 1 Gbps without any equalizer further shows the capability of this high-speed transmitter for VLC. These results mean that tailoring the optical power of μLEDs in a parallel-biased integrated array can further enhance the data transmission rate without degradation of the modulation bandwidth.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
