Abstract

Solar cells are increasingly being utilised for both energy harvesting and reception in free‐space optical (FSO) communication networks. The authors focus on the implementation of a mid‐band p‐In0.01Ga0.99 N/p‐In0.5Ga0.5 N/n‐In0.5Ga0.5 N (PPN) solar cell, boasting an impressive 26.36% conversion efficiency (under 1.5AM conditions) as a receiver within an indoor FSO communication network. Employing a solar cell with dimensions of 1 mm in length and width, the FSO system underwent simulation using Optisystm software, while the solar cell's behaviour was simulated using SCAPS‐1D. The received power from the solar cell was then compared to that of four commercially available avalanche photodiode (APD) receivers. Exploring incident wavelengths spanning 400–700 nm within the visible spectrum, across transmission distances of 5, 10, 15, and 20 m, the study presented current‐voltage (IV) and power‐voltage curves. Notably, the InGaN solar cell exhibited superior electrical power output compared to all commercial APDs. In conclusion, the findings underscore that augmenting received power has the potential to enhance FSO network quality and support extended transmission distances.

利用 InGaN 太阳能电池接收可见光通信

在自由空间光学 (FSO) 通信网络中，太阳能电池越来越多地被用于能量收集和接收。作者重点研究了中频 p-In0.01Ga0.99 N/p-In0.5Ga0.5 N/n-In0.5Ga0.5 N (PPN) 太阳能电池的应用，该电池作为室内 FSO 通信网络的接收器，转换效率高达 26.36%（1.5AM 条件下），令人印象深刻。采用长宽尺寸均为 1 毫米的太阳能电池，利用 Optisystm 软件对 FSO 系统进行了仿真，同时利用 SCAPS-1D 对太阳能电池的行为进行了仿真。然后将太阳能电池的接收功率与四个市售雪崩光电二极管（APD）接收器的接收功率进行比较。研究探索了可见光谱内 400-700 纳米的入射波长，以及 5、10、15 和 20 米的传输距离，并绘制了电流-电压 (IV) 和功率-电压曲线。值得注意的是，与所有商用 APD 相比，InGaN 太阳能电池的电力输出更为出色。总之，研究结果表明，增强接收功率具有提高 FSO 网络质量和支持延长传输距离的潜力。
