A Polarization-Based Interference-Tolerant VLC Link for Low Data Rate Applications
One of the main challenges in establishing a robust visible light communication (VLC) link is to prevent optical interference produced by other light sources from corrupting the signal. Previous solutions catering for this issue assume that optical interference and the signal operate in nonoverlappi...
