Abstrakt: Arrays of floating neural sensors with high channel count that cover an area of square centimeters and larger would be transformative for neural engineering and brain-machine interfaces. Meeting the power and wireless data communications requirements within the size constraints for each neural sensor has been elusive due to the need to incorporate sensing, computing, communications, and power functionality in a package of approximately 100 micrometers on a side. In this work, we demonstrate a near infrared optical power and data communication link for a neural recording system that satisfies size requirements to achieve dense arrays and power requirements to prevent tissue heating. The optical link is demonstrated using an integrated optoelectronic device consisting of a tandem photovoltaic cell and microscale light emitting diode. End-to-end functionality of a wireless neural link within system constraints is demonstrated using a pre-recorded neural signal between a self-powered CMOS integrated circuit and single photon avalanche photodiode.
