    Figures & Tables(8)
    Images of (a) the transmission link, (b) the packaged micro-LED transmitter, the light beam through (c) tap water, (d) 100.24 mg/m3 Maalox, (e) 1207.73 mg/m3 chlorophyll, and (f) 5 kg/m3 sea salt solutions, and (g) the APD receiver.
    (a) I-V characteristic of the micro-LED. (b) The EL spectra under different currents of the micro-LED. (c) Light output powers at the receiving end with increasing driving currents of the micro-LED in varied concentrations of Maalox solution.
    (a) Experimental attenuation coefficients and the fitting results in water with different Maalox concentrations. The purple dash line shows the attenuation coefficients of four typical water qualities. (b) Variation of BERs with increasing data rates with different Maalox concentrations.
    Data rate versus attenuation of light output power with different Maalox concentrations at the BER of 3×10−3.
    Eye diagrams at different concentrations of Maalox of (a) 200.48 mg/m3, (b) 400.97 mg/m3, and (c) 1603.86 mg/m3 at a data rate of 200 Mbps, (d) 200.48 mg/m3 at a data rate of 800 Mbps, (e) 400.97 mg/m3 at a data rate of 690 Mbps, and (f) 1603.86 mg/m3 at a data rate of 270 Mbps.
    (a) Experimental attenuation coefficients and the fitting results in water with different chlorophyll concentrations. (b) Variation of BERs with increasing data rates for different chlorophyll concentrations.
    (a) Experimental attenuation coefficients and the fitting results in water with different sea salt concentrations. (b) Variation of BERs with increasing data rates for different sea salt concentrations, measured by 1 GHz APD.
