Gbits/s‐Level Encrypted Spectral Wireless Communication Enabled by High‐Performance Flexible Organic Hyperspectrometer
Abstract
Abstract The exponential growth of data in the information era has pushed conventional optical communication technology to its limitations, including inefficient spectral utilization, slow data rate, and inherent security vulnerabilities. Here, a transformative high‐speed organic spectral wireless communication (SWC) technology enabled by a flexible, miniaturized, and high‐performance organic hyperspectrometer is proposed that integrates ultrahigh‐speed data transmission with hardware‐level encryption. By synergistically combining organic photodetector arrays with tunable responsivities and spectral‐tunable organic filters, the organic hyperspectrometer achieves a broad spectral detection range of 400 to 900 nm, resolution of 1.08 nm, accuracy of 0.60 nm, and response time of 684 ns. Unlike prior optical wireless communication systems, the organic hyperspectrometer‐based SWC platform uniquely decodes high‐speed encrypted data at the hardware level, which is a breakthrough in secure, high‐speed, and high‐capacity communication. Harnessing the full visible‐to‐near‐infrared spectrum, the SWC system achieves a theoretical data rate of 9.1 Gbits s −1 , ranking as the highest‐speed organic optical communication system. Furthermore, the intrinsic flexibility and bandgap‐tunability of organic materials enable unparalleled portability, adaptability, and scalability of organic SWC, establishing a scalable framework for terahertz‐scale data transmission. These advancements mark a pivotal leap toward secure, high‐speed, and ultracompact optical networks for the future data‐ and AI‐driven era.
