This dataset supports the manuscript entitled " Gb/s visible light communications with colloidal quantum dot color converters" published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. 
The data is in the form of csv file, their names identified by the respective figure of the paper in which they are utilised. They represent data from the characterisation of colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) for colour-converting InGaN blue-emitting microsize light-emitting diodes (microLEDs) in visible light communications (VLC). They also include modeling data utilized in the discussion of the CQD material characteristics. 
 
The csv files are:

* Fig 3: Modeled emission spectrum for increasing colour converter thickness (z)
* Fig 4: Lengthening of the PL lifetime caused by self-absorption versus length, L, of the converting material; decrease of the bandwidth (represented as a bandwidth ratio) versus L
