Abstract

In this study, a visible light Internet access communication system is presented. The system uses visible light as downlink which can communicate at a distance of 2m. With the application of the pre-emphasis technology, a 3-dB transmission bandwidth of 130MHz is achieved. The physical layer of the system is controlled by FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and the FPGA is the bridge of the MAC (Access Control Layer) and the physical layer. In the evaluation experiment the test computer can access Internet and play online video resources. The maximum downlink data rate is up to 30Mb/s.
