Very High Data Rate Optical Wireless Communication with Micro Organic LED

We present a broadband free space light communication using high-speed micro organic light emitting diode (OLED) as transmitter. We report first the design and bandwidth measurements of innovative OLEDs whose size are in the range of tens of micrometres. For OLEDs with reduced active area such as 40 µm x 40 µm, a cut-off frequency up to 345 MHz is reached. Then a free-space optical wireless link is build based on these high-speed micro-OLED. Using Direct Current Optical-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) with adaptive bit and energy loading, we achieve a data rate of 2.85 Gb/s.

LINCNET: Exploring the Synergy of LiFi and Powerline Communication for Industrial and Medical Applications

The LINCNET project aims to advance LiFi (Light Fidelity) technology as a viable alternative for industry-specific applications. By harnessing the unlicensed optical spectrum, LiFi offers higher data rates in confined areas, particularly in buildings, and has the potential to provide increased security and reliability. The inherent properties of light as a wireless medium present numerous advantages for digital healthcare and industrial communication applications. Despite the demonstrated high potential of LiFi in these areas, cost-effective, integrated, and market-ready solutions are still lacking.

LiFi in space

LiFi, short for Light Fidelity, is a wireless communication technology that uses visible light instead of radio waves to transmit data. LiFi is based on the principle of Visible Light Communication (VLC), where LED lights are used as transmitters to send data to a receiver, which is typically a photodiode.

Applications for Retail, museums and public spaces

Optical Camera Communications (OCC) is a technology that allows for high-speed data transfer through visible light. The technology is popular in various industries, including retail, museums, and other locations where reliable and fast data transfer is required. OCC works by using LEDs to transmit data through light waves, which can then be received and interpreted by cameras or other optical sensors.
