Definitions
- Embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein generally relate to a system and method for white-light illumination and near-infrared light communication using a single diode-based visible-wavelength light-source.
- the near-infrared beam is converted from the visible-wavelength light-source using solution-process quantum-dots for visible-light to near-infrared color conversion.
- the system supports communication using light, and implements optical internet-of- things through data uplink based on existing consumer electronics. DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND
- VLC is a promising technology for future indoor communications
- challenges that remain unresolved in the existing VLC or optical-loT systems.
- One of such challenges is that high-speed photodetectors have small areas due to resistance-capacitance (RC) limits and so they can only collect a small portion of the flux of photons, reducing the received signal power.
- RC resistance-capacitance
- Using a focusing element resolves this problem, but limits the field of view, making the alignment requirements stricter.
- the receiver area should be of a larger size, while, at the same time, not be limited by the RC limits.
- the optical transmitter module may include a blue light emitter with a peak wavelength in the vicinity of 450 nm, or an ultraviolet (UV)-based light emitter with a peak emission wavelength in the vicinity of 380 nm.
- the emitter is combined with multiple phosphors with a longer wavelength than the blue/UV-based light emitter in order to generate white light for general illumination and communication purposes.
- the generated white-light spectrum typically spans across the visible wavelength region, i.e. , 450 to 750 nm.
- phosphors with a low radiative recombination lifetime are typically required.
- a material includes halide perovskite nanocrystals, which emit in the visible range. This material is presently considered as the best choice for a high-speed intermediate phosphor for simultaneous lighting and communication purposes.
- these phosphors are intended for integration with a light emitter for general white-light illumination and communication purposes, and the emitted light in the visible range is glaring for the human vision.
- Non- visible light data-link in the Li-Fi technology, e.g., transmitting optical signals from an electronic apparatus (i.e., laptop, phone, tablet, etc.) back to the receiver module.
- an electronic apparatus i.e., laptop, phone, tablet, etc.
- NIR near-infrared
- VCSEL near-infrared vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser
- LiDAR light detection and ranging
- a transmitter for illuminating with visible light and for broadcasting data with near-infrared light.
- the transmitter includes a single light source configured to generate an optical beam having a first wavelength in the ultraviolet to visible spectrum, a first phosphor configured to receive the optical beam and to generate a visible light beam, and a second phosphor configured to receive the optical beam and to generate a near-infrared, NIR, beam having a second wavelength, larger than the first wavelength.
- the first wavelength is between 400 and 750 nm and the second wavelength is between 750 nm and 2.5 pm.
- a visible light illumination and communication system that includes a transmitter configured to generate a visible light beam and a near-infrared, NIR, beam based on a single light source, a processor configured to control the transmitter and to use the visible light beam for illumination and to use the NIR beam for data exchange, and a power source configured to supply electrical power to the transmitter and the processor.
- the NIR beam has a wavelength between 750 nm and 2.5 pm.
- the method includes generating, with a single light source, an encoded optical beam having a first wavelength in the visible spectrum, propagating the encoded optical beam through a light guiding element, which is optically connected to the single light source, steering the encoded optical beam, with a light steering element, to a first phosphor for illuminating and/or to a second phosphor for exchanging data, generating, based on the encoded optical beam, with the first phosphor, a visible light beam having a first wavelength, and generating, based on the encoded optical beam, with the second phosphor, an encoded NIR beam having a second wavelength, larger than the first wavelength.
- the first wavelength is between 400 and 750 nm and the second wavelength is between 750 nm and 2.5 pm, and the encoded NIR beam preserves an encoding of the encoded optical beam.

- the modulated optical beam 304 with the first wavelength li in the range of 280 nm - 750 nm, can be directly guided to excite the NIR QDs 312 and re-emit at a longer, second wavelength, l2, in the near-infrared region of 750 nm to 2.5 pm, as a NIR modulated beam 314, while retaining the original information of the modulated optical beam 304.
