Huiyi Weng, Wei Wang, Zhiwei Chen, Bowen Zhu, Fan Li
Abstract
Indoor Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) provides a promising solution for high-capacity, low-latency, and electromagnetic interference-resistant wireless communication. Over the past decade, there has been extensive research addressing key challenges in indoor OWC. This article provides an overview of the current development status, key technologies, and challenges faced in the field of indoor OWC. Furthermore, at the end of this overview, an experimental demonstration of an indoor non-line-of-sight (NLOS) OWC system utilizing a spatial light modulator (SLM) for beam steering is demonstrated, which is expected to inspire research on related technologies.
