We propose an approach for encoding and transmitting information based on the use of a quantum dot laser, which, depending on the injection current, emits either one of two or simultaneously two spectral components, with different wavelengths. When the laser is modulated by current, each lasing line is detected by an independent photodiode, and thus the information is encoded by both the intensity of each line and its wavelength.
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.
