“…Moreover, we provide direct measurements of the photon detection efficiency and the dynamic range in Fig. 8 to compare the data to the proposed equation model, respectively (10) and (14). As expected, having a larger number of smaller cells highly increases the DR, due to lower DCRs and higher maximum count rates, while the photon detection efficiency is negatively affected by the reduction of fill factor.…”

“…Recent interest has been shown in applying these detectors in guided wave or free space visible light communications (VLC) where they promise high sensitivity and photon shot noise limited links [7], [8]. Although only modest data rates have been so far obtained [9], [10], evidence of optical communications operating at the quantum limit is already emerging [11], [12], [13], [14]. Enhancements of data rates towards the Gb/s rates competitive with state of the art visible communications, [15], [16], [17], [18], rely on advances in the architectures of SPAD receivers.…”

We investigate the photon detection efficiency and the dynamic range for digital silicon photomultipliers (dSiPMs) over a selection of design parameters: dSiPM unit cell dead time, photon detection efficiency, unit cell area and fill factor, number of cells and total dSiPM active area. Two receiver scaling scenarios are considered: varying the number of cells for (1) a fixed unit cell area or (2) a fixed total dSiPM area. Theoretical and simulated results are confirmed with experimental data from a selection of dSiPMs realised on a test chip in 130nm CMOS process.

“…Cm6 is selected as the fluorophore dye because of its high quantum yield, absorption peaking in the blue region of the spectrum, and short fluorescence lifetime [11]. The Cm6 layer was sandwiched between two microscope slides (25 mm × 75 mm × 1 mm, n = 1.52).…”

This potentially allows a high degree of spatial multiplexing to be achieved using a simple receiver structure that can have a wide field-of-view (FOV). Details of a two-channel MIMO VLC system that operates at 32 Mbps with a receiver acceptance angle of ±22.5 degrees are given, and future directions discussed.

This paper studies the visible light communication in the elevator. In the tiny space (1.6*1.4*2.3m), it has different distribution of illumination performance compared to the room of common size (5*5*3m). This paper analyzes 4 different lamp distribution strategies, each of which has different performance in the illumination distribution and luminous power. This paper shows that the rectangular line structure of the lamp distribution has the advantages in the illumination and communication. Under this lamps distribution, the average illumination intensity is 497.79[lx]; The mean signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 52.99[dB] and the optimal FOV is 65°. The results of simulation show it in the tiny space of the elevator, it can satisfy the demand of illumination and communication.
