Design of an optical receiving antenna with high gain and large field of view for indoor visible light communication

In order to meet the requirements of the high gain and wide field of view (FOV) for indoor visible light communication (VLC) system, a new optical receiving system is proposed, which integrates a Fresnel lens with a hemispherical lens. The effects of the two lenses’ spacing and the radius of the hemispherical lens on the optical gain at different FOV are investigated. As the FOV increases, the designed antenna displays enhanced reception performance compared with the traditional receiving optical antenna. The optical gain of the designed antenna is 6.88 in the condition of FOV of 40°. To further verify the rationality of the designed antenna, a model of VLC system is established based on the designed antenna in a room with a size of 5 m×5 m×3 m. The results show that the received average power using the designed antenna increases by 22.81 dBm, and the average signal to noise ratio (SNR) is 2.3 times of that without any optical antenna. The designed antenna is promising for the application in indoor VLC systems.

According to the fact that the surface of liquid with low viscosity coefficient is a good reflection plane for a broadband light beam, liquid-level measurement in micrometer resolution is designed based on a fiber-optic low coherence interferometer in Michelson configuration.

Research of all-optical ultra-wideband triplet signal source based on a single semiconductor optical amplifier

A novel scheme for all-optical ultra-wideband triplet signal pulse generation based on the cross-gain modulation (XGM) in a single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is demonstrated. In this scheme, only one optical source and one SOA are needed, so the configuration is simple. Due to only one wavelength is included in the generated triplet pulse, no time difference between output signal light and probe light is introduced during the transmission process. By using the software of Optisystem 7.0, the impacts of the input signal width, the optical power and the wavelength of the optical source on the generated triplet pulse are numerically simulated and studied. The results show that the proposed scheme has better triplet signal pulse when the input signal pulse width is larger, and it is insensitive to the wavelength change within a certain range.
