Wireless Infrared Communications

Joseph M. Kahn, +1 more
TL;DR: The use of infrared radiation as a medium for high-speed short-range wireless digital communication, and several modification formats, including on-off keying (OOK), pulse-position modulation (PPM), and subcarrier modulation, are discussed.

Fundamental analysis for visible-light communication system using LED lights

T. Komine, +1 more
- 01 Feb 2004 - 
TL;DR: Based on numerical analyses, it is shown that the proposed indoor visible-light communication system utilizing white LED lights is expected to be the indoor communication of the next generation.

Wireless in-house data communication via diffuse infrared radiation

F.R. Gfeller, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel wireless broadcast/multi-access channel for flexibly interconnecting a cluster of data terminals located within the same room is described, where the transmission medium is diffusively scattered infrared radiation at 950-nm wavelength.

Margin measurements in optical amplifier system

N.S. Bergano, +2 more
- 01 Mar 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the SNR at the receiver's decision circuit when the bit error ratio (BER) is too low to be measured in a reasonable time, and obtain good agreement between the BER predicted using the measured SNR value and the actual measured BER.

On the bit error rate of lightwave systems with optical amplifiers

Pierre A. Humblet, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of optical amplifiers and a wideband optical filter is evaluated in the presence of spontaneous noise and photodetector shot noise and compared with those predicted by Gaussian approximations for amplitude shift keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Kening (FSK), or differential phase shift keening (DPSK) modulations.

Multiplication noise in uniform avalanche diodes

R. J. Mcintyre
- 01 Jan 1966 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral density of the noise generated in a uniformly multiplying p-n junction can be derived for any distribution of injected carriers, and the analysis is limited to the white noise spectrum only, and to diodes having large potential drops across the multiplying region of the depletion layer.

Photodetectors for optical communication systems

H. Melchior, +2 more
TL;DR: The characteristics of high-sensitivity photodetectors suitable for wide bandwidth optical communication systems are summarized in this paper, where the use of internal current gain by means of avalanche and electron multiplication and optical heterodyne detection is discussed.

Signal and noise response of high speed germanium avalanche photodiodes

H. Melchior, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1966 - 
TL;DR: Germanium avalanche photodiodes have been fabricated and tested as discussed by the authors, providing gain at microwave frequencies, and employ a guard ring structure to achieve a uniform, microplasma-free, multiplying region with an active diameter of 40 microns.

Statistics of a general class of avalanche detectors with applications to optical communication

S. D. Personick
- 01 Dec 1971 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the required energy per pulse to achieve a given error rate decreases as k decreases for fixed G. The moment-generating function of the random avalanche gain G is obtained as a function of k and the average gain G, and is used to obtain Chernov bounds on error rates of digital optical receivers employing avalanche detectors.

High-speed photodetectors

L. K. Anderson, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a status report on high-speed detectors for the visible and near-infrared portion of the optical spectrum is presented, with the emphasis on those devices which can be used as direct (non-coherent) detectors of weak optical signals modulated at microwave frequencies.
