Lens design for indoor MIMO visible light communications

We proposed a lens design procedure to generate parallel light beams that facilitate optical MIMO communication with negligible interference between the un-intended transceiver pairs, in a 2×2 LED array. We designed an imaging receiver using two aspheric lenses instead of one single hemispherical lens to improve the light-beam separation performance. The proposed scheme can be extended to the scenario with ultra-dense LED array. Numerical results show that proper parameter setting in lens design can lead to negligible interference between un-intended transceiver pairs. The bit error rate performance is also evaluated.
