Abstract

In this paper, an omnidirectional visible light detector was developed by making the detecting surface of a flexible solar cell in a cylindrical form, which has a uniform receiving pattern in the horizontal plane. This solar cell detector receives simultaneously multiple signal lights incident from different directions and provides electrical power to the ASK demodulator in the receiver. In experiments, time division transmission method was used to receive three signal lights incident from different directions to the solar cell detector. Each signal light was ASK modulated using a carrier of 40 kHz, and the synchronizing pulses required for time division transmission were generated by detecting the 120 Hz AC signal included in the indoor illumination lamp with Cds cells. This receiving structure is useful in constructing an $N{\times}1$ optical link in visible light communication.

본 논문에서는 플렉시블 솔라셀의 수광면을 원통형으로 만들어 수평면상에서 균일한 수광패턴을 가지는 전방향 가시광 검출기를 개발하였다. 이 솔라셀 광검출기는 서로 다른 위치에서 입사하는 여러 개의 신호광을 동시에 검출하며, 수신부의 ASK복조기에 전력을 공급한다. 실험에서는 시분할 전송 방식을 사용하여 서로 다른 방향으로부터 입사하는 3개 신호광을 솔라셀 광검출기로 수신하였다. 각 신호광은 40 kHz의 캐리어를 사용하여 ASK 변조하였으며, 시분할 전송에 필요한 동기펄스는 실내의 조명램프에 포함된 120 Hz의 AC 신호를 Cds셀로 검출하여 같은 주기로 생성하였다. 이러한 수신구조는 가시광통신에서 $N{\times}1$ 광연결을 구성하는 데에 적합하다.
