"In this bandwidth hungry era, there will be a continuous push by consumers for VLC systems with higher bitrates," Ooi said. "We believe that white light generated by semiconductor lasers will one day replace the LED white light bulb for energy-efficient lighting."

Semiconductor light-emitting diodes fabricated on a metal substrate are less prone to overheating. Micrometer-scale light emitters that can be incorporated into electronic chips could enable faster computation and communication systems in compact devices.​​
