New nanomaterial promises 2 GB information speed per second
- Updated: August 15, 2016
Riyadh: A group of researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has grown a nanocrystalline element that fast creates white light out of blue light, demonstrating information speeds of adult to 2GB per second that can renovate a universe of Wi-Fi.
Representational picture
While Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are timeless technologies, there are several advantages gained by cutting a wavelength of a electromagnetic waves used for transmitting information.
So-called visible-light communication (VLC) creates use of tools of a electromagnetic spectrum that are unregulated and is potentially some-more energy-efficient.
VLC also offers a approach to mix information delivery with enlightenment and arrangement technologies — for example, regulating roof lights to yield internet connectors to laptops.
Many such VLC applications need light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that furnish white light.
“VLC regulating white light generated in this approach is singular to about one hundred million pieces per second,” pronounced Boon Ooi, Professor of Electrical Engineering during a KAUST.
Ooi, Associate Professor Osman Bakr and colleagues used a nanocrystal-based converter that enables most aloft information rates.
When bright by a blue laser light, a nanocrystals issued immature light while a nitride issued red light.
Together, these total to emanate a comfortable white light.
The group could broadcast information during a rate of dual billion pieces per second.
“The fast response is partly due to a distance of a crystals,” pronounced Bakr in a university statement.
“We trust that white light generated regulating semiconductor lasers will one day reinstate a LED white-light bulbs for energy-efficient lighting,” combined Ooi.
