A Gbps Building-to-Building VLC Link Using Standard CMOS Avalanche Photodiodes

A Gbps Building-to-Building VLC Link Using Standard CMOS Avalanche Photodiodes

A building-to-building free-space visible-light-communication link over more than 72 m link distance is presented. The link employs a dual data/clock optical channel from two 680-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser laser-diodes. The receivers are implemented using custom bandwidth-e...
