VISIBLE LIGHT COMMUNICATION
Visible light communication (VLC) comprises
OWC links in which visible light sources are
applied. Hereby, the main task and challenge is
the development of luminaires with an add-on
function (i.e., data transmission), which has no
negative influence on their illumination functionality.
This dual role can best be fulfilled by
LEDs, and over the past few years research
groups have been able to demonstrate that high
data rates up to the gigabit per second range are
possible with such devices [2, 3].
