Abstract

Abstract

In order to study the multi-functional photon integrated chip for visible light communication and realize the integrated function of visible light signal emission, detection, transmission and power distribution, a miniature Light Emitting Diode(LED) with splitter structure based on silicon-based InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well material is proposed in this paper. The photon integrated chip is characterized in many aspects, such as morphology, optoelectronic characteristics and visible light communication test. The effective transmission of visible light signal and different proportion of multi-port power shunt are realized, and the output light intensity of different ports of the splitter is quantified. Finally, the rectangular wave signal of 300 kHz is loaded at the emitter end of the miniature LED light source by the signal generator, and the modulated visible light signal emitted at the end of the splitter is collected. The waveform change trend of the input / receive signal is the same. It shows that the photonic integrated chip can achieve effective visible light communication. The main purpose of this study is to try to integrate visible light sources and photodetectors on nitride wafers, so as to provide new research ideas and schemes for on-chip integrated processing of visible light signals in all-optical networks of visible light communications. It provides more possibilities for the development of multi-function photon integrated chip terminals for visible light communication networks.
