Abstract:
We investigate the performance of a visible light communication (VLC) transceiver for bi-directional high-speed and short-range wireless data interfaces. The proposed VLC transceivers with optical antenna structure are implemented with edge-emitting laser diode and silicon photo diode, which is primarily designated to operate in a full duplex mode at 120 Mbit/s. The shielding method that is employed to reduce the light cross coupling effect inside the VLC transceiver is proposed and experimentally investigated. The influence of the tilt degree between two transceivers without optical antenna and with optical antenna is investigated. Their bit error rate performance is examined experimentally with respect to the transmission distance, the coverage range and the tilt degree.
