Georgios Pekridis is a FPGA Engineer for EULAMBIA.
Below is a statement from him about the European project:
“The concept of Perovskites is fascinating, and its development aims to significantly contribute to the field of renewable energy sources by implementing more efficient solar panels. Additionally, Perovskite LEDs and Photodiodes aim to contribute to the LiFi concept, IoT devices, sensing, and free-space telecommunications. In essence, Perovskites are competing with Silicon. Currently, this technology is in its early stages, but scientists and researchers across Europe are eager to expand the horizons of Perovskite applications. Through the PeroCUBE project, partners have endeavored to bring this technology to the forefront. Their research aimed to specify its advantages and limitations, as well as to incorporate Perovskite cells into prototype devices to demonstrate their potential. At Eulambia Advanced Technologies, we have utilized Perovskite PV cells to engineer a fully operational LiFi transceiver. Although the bandwidth of the transceiver was constrained by the Perovskite cell, the end results were truly remarkable. Literature concerning transceiver systems that employ this material is significantly sparse. This indicates a substantial opportunity for research and development in the field. There is not doubt that there is a considerable journey ahead for this technology to penetrate the market, but the PeroCUBE project represents a significant step in that direction. I am confident that in the near future, Perovskites will complement existing silicon products and find broader applications in telecommunications and IoT devices.”
