摘要：Following the rapid development of GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs), visible light communication (VLC) has attracted considerable attention. Compared with traditional radio frequency wireless communication, VLC is more secure, without electromagnetic interference or license restriction. However, the optical modulation bandwidth of commercial light emitting diodes (LEDs) is only several tens of MHz. It is necessary to enhance the modulation bandwidth of LEDs significantly for VLC applications. In addition, the quantum efficiency (QE) and temporal response of the optical receiver in the VLC system are also important. Currently, Si-based photodetectors are used to detect blue light from white LEDs by implementing a blue-filtering technology. But this technology suffers from low light transmittance and complexity. Furthermore, the broadband response of Si-based photodetectors causes undesirable interference effects between the detected and background signals. GaN-based photodetectors could offer an alternative solution as they have a high band edge extinction ratio. However, the performance of InGaN visible light detectors is still not competitive with that of traditional Si-based detectors. Here, the progresses of the GaN-based photodiodes for visible light communication will be introduced. The works will lay a foundation to further enhance the performance of GaN-based photodiodes for light communication below 600 nm.
