With the advent of the sixth-generation mobile communication standard (6 G), the visible light communication (VLC) technology based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology can effectively solve the problem of shortage of spectrum resources and insufficient channel capacity. This paper introduces one of our technical achievements, namely the construction of a near-real-time visible light laser communication (VLLC) system based on WDM, which includes a self-designed 10-λ fully-packaged visible light laser emission module, 1 m multimode fiber - 0.175 m free space - 1 m multimode fiber optical transmission link, and receiver array. In the transmitter system, we adopt adaptive discrete multitone (DMT) modulation technique combined with Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) modulation scheme to obtain maximum spectral efficiency (SE). In the receiving system, we utilize the sparse-structured reservoir computing post-equalization algorithm to achieve superior equalization performance on the basis of the traditional post-equalization algorithm. The experimental results indicate that this quasi-real-time communication system has achieved a signal transmission rate of 113.175Gbps. To the best of our knowledge, this work has set a record in the field of high-speed visible light laser communication. Therefore, the laser communication system constructed by this work, with its flexibility in deployment and high-speed performance, demonstrates the significant potential application of visible light laser communication in data center interconnection and high-speed indoor access networks.
