VLC-LED Receiver Condenser with Optimized CPC

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to enhance the signal intensity of VLC-LED receiver, this paper describes a receiver condenser which is designed based on optimized CPC (compound parabolic concentrator) by using a truncated method, for achieving the aim of boosting receiver’s ability of gathering light and enhancing signal intensity. The Monte Carlo-ray tracing simulation results shows that in the VLC-LED system, the optimized CPC condenser has those advantages, such as higher concentration ratio, larger concentrate light deviation angle.
