  • Abstract
    Free-space ultraviolet communication exploits atmospheric scattering and absorption to achieve modest data rates with non-line-of-sight transmit-receive geometries. We introduce the ultraviolet communication concept and report on test bed measurements made outdoors in full daylight.
