Non-flickering 100 m RGB visible light communication transmission based on a CMOS image sensor

Opt Express. 2018 Mar 19;26(6):7079-7084. doi: 10.1364/OE.26.007079.

Abstract

We demonstrate a non-flickering 100 m long-distance RGB visible light communication (VLC) transmission based on a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) camera. Experimental bit-error rate (BER) measurements under different camera ISO values and different transmission distances are evaluated. Here, we also experimentally reveal that the rolling shutter effect- (RSE) based VLC system cannot work at long distance transmission, and the under-sampled modulation- (USM) based VLC system is a good choice.
