Abstract
The integration of wireless light communication into a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module and gateway enables real-time integrated communication networks that satisfy practical application demands. In particular, wireless green light communication tools can operate underwater and in free-space environments. Here, we design, fabricate, and characterize a full-duplex light communication system using green laser diodes (LDs). Operating within the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP), full-duplex wireless data transmission is confirmed in underwater and free-space environments at a communication rate of 10 Mbps. Through connections to a Wi-Fi module and gateway, the system is accessed by the network via the TCP/IPv4 internet scheme, and real-time video transmission is demonstrated.
