In recent years, high-speed visible light communications (VLC) have been identified as an essential part of communication technologies for next generation wireless network owing to the increasing demand for faster data transmission speeds. VLC offers the unique advantages of ultra-high data rate, unregulated and secure channels, free of EM interference. Compared with the LED-based VLC system, laser-based photonic systems are promising for compact, droop-free, and high-speed white lighting and VLC applications, making them ideal alternatives for building ultra-fast optical wireless data link. Besides the potential for achieving high data rate free-space communication links, i.e., the Li-Fi network, laser based VLC, or visible laser light communication (VLLC) technology can also enable underwater wireless optical communications (UWOC) for many important applications. This paper summarizes the recent progress in high-speed laser based VLC devices and explore VLLC-enabled networks, systems, and applications. I will describe state-of-the-art VLC transmitter and receiver technologies. Novel designs to overcome the inherent limitations will be covered. Finally, the innovations in VLC systems for industrial IoT, vehicular communication, and underwater wireless networks applications will be discussed.
A scheme for Gaussian kernel-aided deep neural networks nonlinear predistortion (GK-DNNPD), which could effectively reduce the computational complexity of the receivers, is experimentally demonstrated. Compared with lookup table (LUT) PD, the GK-DNNPD could increase the Q-factor of 8 pulse amplitude modulation visible light communication (VLC) system by 1.56 dB at 1.335 Gbps. We experimentally proved that GK-DNNPD could increase the bitrate under hard-decision forward error correction from 1.335 to 1.385 Gbps. This is the first time that GK-DNNs are utilized for PD in the field of VLC systems. Meanwhile, GK-DNNPD requires less data for training than LUT, and the space complexity of the model is lower than LUT as well, which provides GK-DNNPD with the potential to be applied in practical VLC systems.
