Multi-Segment Photonic Power Converters for Energy Harvesting and High-Speed Optical Wireless Communication
The demand for energy-efficient high-speed wireless communication, coupled with the rapid rise of IoT devices, requires systems that integrate power harvesting with optical data reception to eliminate the need for charging or battery replacements. Recent advances have explored the use of solar cells as optical receivers for high-speed data detection alongside power harvesting. \acs{GaAs}-based \acp{PPC} provide six times greater electron mobility than silicon- or cadmium telluride-based cells, …
