 Introduction to Visible Light
Communication

 It is a short range Optical Wireless Communication .

 Light in the visible spectrum (375nm-780nm) can be

utilized as unguided medium for data transmission .

 It serves the purpose of communication and illumination

simultaneously .
VLC Conceptual Diagram
 Advantages of VLC
• Enormous Bandwidth (of the order of THz)
• Immunity from Electromagnetic Interference
• Inherent physical security against
eavesdropping.
• Longer life time
• Relatively cool operation, due to less heat
generation.
 Challenges Before VLC

• VLC system standards must be in compatibility

with the international illumination standards
and standards for lighting systems‘ control
under development, because illumination is
primary purpose.
• Limited and generally Line of Sight(LOS) range
in terms of distance.

TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design )

• Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) refers to the use

of computer simulations to develop and optimize
semiconductor processing technologies and devices.

• The modeling of the fabrication is termed as Process

TCAD(ATHENA in silvaco).

• The modeling of the device operation is termed device

TCAD(ATLAS In silvaco).

 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
• VLC offer s the advantage of a communications
channel in an unregulated, unlicensed part of the
electromagnetic spectrum .
• LEDs are obvious choice to be used as source
transmitter due to their expected fast switching speed,
revolutionary change in lighting infrastructure, eco-
friendliness .
• So VLC will slowly but surely replace the inefficient
light bulbs in homes, offices and even in street lamps .
