Organic photovoltaics for simultaneous energy harvesting and high-speed MIMO optical wireless communications

Abstract We show that organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are suitable for high-speed optical wireless data receivers that can also harvest power. In addition, these OPVs are of particular interest for indoor applications, as their bandgap is larger than that of silicon, leading to better matching to the s...
