In the paper, experimental operation of a wireless transmission link employing identical LEDs both as transmitter and receiver is demonstrated. The transmitted signal is a simple, two-level pulse amplitude modulation. Digital equalization at the receiver is applied to overcome the bandwidth limitation of the link. Transmission throughput exceeding 100 Mbit/s is reported, even if the receiving red LED operates in the photovoltaic mode.

In the paper, an experimental comparison of pulse amplitude, carrierless amplitude-phase, and discrete multitone modulations is carried in a visible light communications link employing white phosphorescent light-emitting diode (LED) as a transmitter. By changing the modulation index, the influence of LED nonlinearity on the performance is studied. The results indicate similar performance of pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) and carrier-less amplitude-phase (CAP) (with a slight advantage of the former) and substantially worse performance of DMT.

We experimentally demonstrate successful performance of VCSEL-based WDM link supporting advanced 16-level carrierless amplitude/phase modulation up to 1.25 Gbps, over 26 km SSMF with spectral efficiency of 4 bit/s/Hz for application in high capacity PONs.
