BICM-ID scheme for clipped DCO-OFDM in visible light communications
Abstract:
Visible light communication (VLC) is recommended for indoor transmissions in 5G network, whereby DC-biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) is adopted to eliminate the inter-symbol interference (ISI) but suffers from considerable performance loss induced by clipping distortion. In this paper, bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative demapping and decoding (BICM-ID) scheme for clipped DCO-OFDM is investigated to enhance the performance of VLC systems. In order to further mitigate the clipping distortions, a novel soft demapping criterion is proposed, and a simplified demapping algorithm is developed to reduce the complexity of the proposed criterion. Simulation results illustrate that the enhanced demapping algorithm achieves a significant performance gain.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
