InGaN-based Superluminescent Diodes (SLDs)

InGaN-based Superluminescent Diodes (SLDs)

Details



Marry LED and LD virtues
Speckle-free + droop free + broad spectrum
A good light source for SSL+VLC
Blue SLD developed at KAUST Photonics with integrated absorber design








SLD generated​ white light



















​SLD shows > 800 MHz modulation bandwidth with optical power of > 10 mW, enabling a data rate of 1.3 Gbps using OOK modulation scheme.
