현재까지 알려진 무선충전 방식 중에서 장거리에서 가장 효율이 좋은 방식은 레이저를 이용한 방식이다. 여기에 레이저를 이용한 무선통신 기술을 결합한다면 다양한 분야에 활용이 가능할 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 레이저를 이용한 무선충전 및 무선통신의 동시전송 기술에 관하여 연구하고 이에 대한 실험 결과를 보인다. 이 기술은 광 무선충전을 위해서 송신부에 전/광 변환을 위한 레이저 광원을 사용하고 수신부에는 광/전 변환을 위한 태양전지를 사용한다. 또한, 광 무선통신을 위해 해당 레이저 광신호에 반송파를 이용하여 신호를 송신하는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해 100 mW 레이저 송신부와 태양전지 수신부를 이용하여 광 무선충전은 1.9 %의 DC-to-DC 효율을 보였으며, 무선 광통신은 전송거리가 15 m일때 최대 90 kbps의 전송속도를 보였다.

유선 통신의 포화지역이나 도심에서 벗어난 인구밀도가 낮은 지역 둥에서 고속 광통신을 위해 최근 무선 광통신이 새롭게 기대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 무선 광통신을 위한 송신 광학계를 설계하였는데, 광원으로는 수평(7$^{\circ}$)및 수직(18$^{\circ}$) 발산각이 다른 비대칭 타원형 빔을 발산하는 레이저 다이오드(중심 파장 830 nm)를 사용하였다. 제안되는 송신 광학계는 장거리 전송(500 m∼1500 m)이 가능하고, 장거리 전송 후 수신단에서 빔 직경(3 m) 및 에너지 분포가 대칭형이 되도록 설계되었다. 이를 위해 비결상 광학계인 송신 광학계의 평가법으로 에너지 전달 효율과 복사 조도 분포를 계산하였다.

In this paper, we discuss optical encryption and decryption considering wireless communication channels. In wireless communication systems, the wireless channel causes noise and fading effects of the transmitted information. Optical encryption technique such as double-random-phase encryption (DRPE) is used for encrypting transmitted data. When the encrypted data is transmitted, the information may be lost or distorted because there are a lot of factors such as channel noise, propagation fading, etc. Thus, using digital modulation and maximum likelihood (ML) detection, the noise and fading effects are mitigated, and the encrypted data is estimated well at the receiver. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report that considers the wireless channel characteristics of the optical encryption technique.

본 논문에서는 조명용 LED와 솔라 셀을 사용하여 실내 무선광 통신이 가능함을 보인다. 조명용 LED를 광원으로 사용하면 조명과 신호의 송신을 겸할 수 있으며, 솔라 셀을 수광 소자로 이용하면 조명광을 수신하여 에너지를 축적하는 동시에 신호를 검출할 수 있기 때문에 별도의 통신 시설을 설치하지 않고 전송이 가능하여 매우 편리하다. 실험에서는 조명용 LED와 솔라 셀을 사용하여 9.6 kbps 속도로 무선광 데이터 전송을 실시하였다.

Visible light communication (VLC) is considered a strong future candidate for indoor wireless communication. However, its performance seems to be relatively unsatisfactory when compared to wireless local area network (WLAN) communication using millimeter waves. To improve the performance of VLC, numerous technologies have been proposed so far, in both electrical and optical domains. Among the proposals, optical beamforming (OB) is an optical-domain technology that can concentrate light in a specific direction or on a target spot. It can significantly improve VLC performance and can be widely used, because it does not depend on electrical modulation schemes. Therefore, this review discusses the concept, principle, and types of OB, the structure of a VLC system using OB, performance results of OB, and the combination of OB with electrical signal modulation in VLC. OB is expected to be one of the key techniques in future VLC implementations, similar to radio-frequency beamforming in millimeter-wave communication.

Visible light communications (VLC) use modern solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to broadcast information. Emerging white-light LEDs allow the combination of lighting and optical wireless communication in one optical source. In this paper, a new LED lighting design using one-chip-type white LEDs is proposed for efficient illumination and optical wireless communications under the existence of several obstacles. Lighting and communication performance are analyzed to show the effectiveness of the proposed LED lighting. Specifically, the signal-to-noise ratio considering intersymbol interference and the bit-error rate of variable pulse position modulation (VPPM) with dimming control are considered.

Underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) is a good candidate for high-speed underwater wireless communication. In this work, we compare the performance of several modulation techniques for a UOWC system consisting of a light-emitting diode (LED) with an operating wavelength of 405 nm and a Si avalanche photodiode (APD). In this work, we consider six modulation schemes: 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), 8-QAM, quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), binary phase shift keying (BPSK), on-off keying (OOK), and 4-pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). We also consider the cases of pure water and seawater for the working conditions. Our results show that 4-QAM and 8-QAM perform the best, in terms of communication distance and transmission power efficiency, for all water types considered.

A wireless optical fiber interferometer arterial pulse wave sensor system is developed for remote sensing. The wireless optical fiber sensor system consists of Zigbee communication modules and an optical fiber interferometer arterial pulse wave sensor. The optical fiber arterial pulse wave sensor is an in-line Michelson interferometer enclosed with steel reinforcement in a heat-shrinkable tube. The Zigbee communication modules are composed of an ATmega128L microprocessor and a CC2420 Zigbee chip. The arterial pulse waves detected by the optical fiber sensor were transmitted and received via the Zigbee communication modules. The experimental results show that the wireless optical fiber sensor system can be used for monitoring the arterial pulse waves remotely.

In this paper, we consider the diffuse type of indoor wireless optical communication (WOC) system. To find the channel characteristics of indoor wireless infrared communication system, we investigate the simulation process to get the impulse response of diffuse type and analyze the scenario of the indoor structure which we have built. The simulation results of the impulse response include power ratio and time delay due to bounce times. We get and discuss the receiving power distribution according to six configurations which have different transmitter and receiver positions and reflection coefficients of the indoor structure assumed. The results of this paper are useful to design the indoor wireless optical communication systems.
