Fast data transmissions could be delivered in homes and offices through light-emitting diodes (LED) bulbs complementing existing communication technologies and networks.
Fast data transmissions could be delivered in homes and offices through light-emitting diodes (LED) bulbs complementing existing communication technologies and networks.
A new study led by the University of Surrey and University of Cambridge has investigated how to release high-speed photonic sources using metal-halide perovskites. These are semiconductors being researched with LEDs for their excellent optoelectronic properties and low-cost processing methods.
Dr Wei Zhang, lead corresponding author of the study and associate professor at University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute, said:
“Billions of IoT connected devices have the potential to add significant value to industry and the global economy. In this market costs and compatibility are often prioritised over data transmission speed and scientists are looking for alternative ways to reduce energy consumption per bit and improve compactness while simultaneously working on improving the speed of data connection.
