    Figures & Tables(6)
    Bottom view photograph of the OPD under test with spatial characteristics also noted.
    Responsivity curves of the OPD under test and a generic ThorLabs PDA36A Si photodetector.
    Schematic system block diagram. TIA: transimpedance amplifier; VOLED: LED bias voltage; VPD: OPD bias voltage; High Z: high impedance.
    OPD BWs for four light densities, varying from 10 to 300 μW· cm−2, corresponding to BWs ranging between 56 and 160 kHz, giving an ∼100 kHz range.
    BER performance for OOK and 4-PPM with and without ANN equalization.
    BER performance of 4-PPM across the system with varying light density. In each case, over 1 Mbit/s can be supported.
