Exploring the potentials of optical-wireless communication using white LEDs

This paper reviews the main experimental results achieved by our research group in the area of high-speed wireless visible light communication (VLC). Depending on the modulation complexity and receiver sensitivity, various links operating at rates in the range of 10 – 800 Mbit/s have been demonstrated using off-the-shelf optical components.
