Abstract
Abstract
With recent developments of deep ultraviolet (DUV) light-emitting diodes and solar-blind detectors, UV communication (UVC) shows great potential in replacing traditional wireless communication in more and more scenarios. Based on the atmospheric scattering of UV radiation, UVC has gained considerable attention due to its non-line-of-sight ability, omnidirectional communication links and low background noise. These advantages make UVC an ideal option for covert secure communication, especially for military communication. In this review, we present the history and working principle of UVC with a special focus on its light sources and detectors. Comprehensive comparison and application of its light sources and detectors are provided to the best of our knowledge. We further discuss the future application and outlook of UVC. Hopefully, this review will offer valuable insights into the future development of UVC.
