title: 1.6 Gbit/s phosphorescent white LED based VLC transmission using a cascaded pre-equalization circuit and a differential outputs PIN receiver.
abstract: We proposed a cascaded amplitude equalizer used for high speed visible light communications (VLC) system. With the cascaded pre-equalization circuit, the -3dB bandwidth of VLC system can be extended from 17MHz to 366MHz using a commercially available phosphorescent white LED, a blue filter and a differential outputs PIN receiver. The data rate is 1.60Gbit/s exploiting 16QAM-OFDM with 400MHz modulation bandwidth over 1m free-space transmission under pre-forward error correction (pre-FEC) limit of 3.8 × 10(-3). To our knowledge, this is the highest data rate ever achieved by using a commercially available phosphorescent white LED in VLC system.
