    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Optical Communications
    • Fiber Optics

    Background:

    • Side-emitting fibers are established for optical camera communication (OCC) and visible light communication (VLC) as separate transmitters or receivers.
    • Simultaneous bidirectional use of a single side-emitting fiber for both OCC and VLC has not been previously investigated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate and validate a bidirectional visible light communication (VLC) and optical camera communication (OCC) system utilizing a single side-emitting fiber.
    • To establish the theoretical framework and experimentally verify the performance of such a dual-function fiber.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a theoretical model for bidirectional VLC/OCC over a single side-emitting fiber.
    • Experimental implementation and testing of the bidirectional communication link.
    • Performance evaluation of both OCC and VLC channels against the forward-error-correction (FEC) limit.

    Main Results:

    • Successful demonstration of a bidirectional VLC and OCC link over a single side-emitting fiber.
    • Both OCC and VLC channels operated below the forward-error-correction (FEC) limit of 3.8 × 10-3.
    • Experimental validation of the fiber's capability as a simultaneous distributed transmitter and receiver.

    Conclusions:

    • Side-emitting fibers can effectively support bidirectional VLC and OCC simultaneously.
    • This technology offers potential for low-cost, integrated indoor communication and sensing applications.
    • Applications include combined identification/verification and emergency exit illumination using a single fiber.
