Bias Dependence of LED-PD2 Link
• Bandwidth of LED-PD2 link increases with LED current
• Bandwidth of LED-PD1 link independent of LED current

Conclusion
• 370-nm link demonstrated at 60 MHz by using GaN LED and photo-detector
• Link bandwidth is orders-of-magnitude higher than that achieved by using lamp and tube
• Link bandwidth limited by LED instead of photo-detector
• Bandwidth improvement of solar-blind (<280nm) LED in progress
