  • Publication number: 20240297718
    Abstract: A system may include a solar cell and a modulator connected to an output of the solar cell. The system may receive a signal. When the signal being in a first state corresponding to modulation, the modulator may modulate voltage output of the solar cell and cause the solar cell to perform optical transmission. When the signal is in a second state corresponding to energy harvesting, the modulator to cease modulation of the output of the solar cell.
