Light Modulation and Detection

arduinocommunicationinfrareduv

IR light is the mainstay frequency for optical communication systems.
How could I experiment with UV frequencies doing the same thing?
Ideally I want to set up a serial link just as is often done with IR.

Thanks you all for your help on this matter.

Surely a UV light bright enough to be of practical use would also be quite dangerous to the naked eye?

That said, perhaps a UV laser could be dropped into something like this: http://www.ohmpie.com/laserModem
