DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OPTICAL RECEIVER FOR VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION TO REDUCE AMBIENT LIGHT NOISE

In the recent years, visible-light communication (VLC) has engrossed amount of researchers as for power conservation and the new archetype in the field of optical wireless communication. However, ambient light noise due to indirect sunlight and fluorescent light is a major concern that affects the performance of the communication system in an indoor environment. This paper develops a project to design and implement new optical receiver for visible light communications (VLC) to reduce the ambient light noise. Using the proposed experimental system, data rate of 10 Kbps and a distance of 0.40 m is achieved between the transmitter and receiver.
