title: A multiple-input-multiple-output visible light communication system based on VCSELs and spatial light modulators.
abstract: A multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) visible light communication (VLC) system employing vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and spatial light modulators (SLMs) with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulating signal is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The transmission capacity of system is significantly increased by space-division demultiplexing scheme. With the assistance of low noise amplifier (LNA) and data comparator, good bit error rate (BER) performance, clear constellation map, and clear eye diagram are achieved for each optical channel. Such a MIMO VLC system would be attractive for providing services including data and telecommunication services. Our proposed system is suitably applicable to the lightwave communication system in wireless transmission.
