Abstract | We propose and demonstrate an indoor optical bi-directional communication system employing near-infrared (NIR) and visible light as carriers. Such a communication technology is attractive wherein red color could be deployed for down streaming purpose via, for instance, LiFi (light fidelity) system, and NIR color for up streaming purpose. This system concept is implemented over a simultaneous bidirectional audio signal transmission and reception over 0.6m indoor wireless channel. Besides, designing the transceiver circuits from off the shelf components, frequency scrambling encryption and decryption technique is also integrated in the system for security purpose. The communication system is optically characterized in terms of line-of-sight laser misalignment and communication distance. |
