Net Data Rate of 14.6 Gbit/s Underwater VLC Utilizing Silicon Substrate Common-Anode Five Primary Colors LED

We demonstrate a net data rate of 14.6 Gbit/s DFT-S OFDM over 1.2m of UVLC. A self-designed Silicon substrate five primary colors LED is employed to improve system performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that 14Gb/s signal transmission is experimentally achieved with LED in the underwater optical wireless communication.
