Abstract

In recent years, blue light emitting diodes of III-nitride semiconductors have been of much interest. In this paper we present stabilization and control of the wavelength of GaN LED which is used as a source of light for optical data communication. Wavelength of a LED varies with the change in the amount of current passing through it and the change in its pn junction temperature. It is proposed to use a feedback circuit to control the current passing through a LED and piezoelectric fan to control its pn junction temperature. Simulation results are shown good and stabilization and control of the wavelength of the LED. Hence the distortion, produced during data communication through an optical fiber, is reduced
