A 1 km Line-of-Sight Ultraviolet Communication System with a Data Rate of 26.6kbps

Ultraviolet communication (UVC) has emerged as a promising solution for close-range communication within the intricate electromagnetic setting. The atmosphere's attenuation, however, restricts the scope and rate of communication. We demonstrated a line-of-sight (LOS) UV communication system. In our system, we employed ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in our system to transmit the signal light with a broad radiation angle and use lenses to enhance the communication range. We propose a combined approach of theory and practice to analyze the feasibility of a LOS UVC system.
