The study of light has been an important part of science from its beginning. The ancient Greeks and, prior to the Middle Ages, Islamic scholars provided important insights. With the coming of the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries, optics, in the shape of teles…
Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as an attractive alternative to radio frequency (RF) communication, due to its abundant, license free bandwidth and cost-effectiveness. The visible light spectrum is much larger than the entire RF spectrum, and largely unexplored. VL…
