    Area of Science:

    • Optical Communications
    • Wireless Networks
    • Fiber Optics

    Background:

    • Visible Light Communication (VLC) offers a promising alternative for wireless data transmission.
    • Existing VLC receivers often have limited coverage and high costs.
    • There is a need for cost-effective, high-coverage receivers for emerging applications like the Internet of Things (IoT).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate a novel distributed receiver for visible light communication.
    • To evaluate the performance of the receiver in terms of data rate and transmission distance.
    • To assess the feasibility of the receiver for low-data rate IoT and sensory networks.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a side-emitting optical fiber as the core component of the distributed receiver.
    • Employing a light-emitting diode (LED) as the transmitter.
    • Testing data rates of 500 kbps and 50 kbps with varying photodetector gain and distances.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a 500 kbps data rate with a bit-error rate below the forward-error correction limit at a 25 cm LED-fiber distance.
    • Improved the LED-fiber distance to 4 m by increasing photodetector gain and reducing the data rate to 50 kbps.
    • Demonstrated the receiver's capability for reliable data capture under varying conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed distributed receiver is low-cost and offers a 360° field of view.
    • This technology is suitable for indoor, low-data rate applications such as IoT and sensory networks.
    • The system provides a flexible and scalable solution for visible light communication.
