VLC Introduction
Visible Light Communication (VLC)
General characteristic:

Wavelength from ~400nm (750THz) to ~700nm (428THz)

Eye safety (what you see is what you send)
Health : Harmless for human body
Unregulated : no regulation in optical frequency
Can be used in the restricted area (Hazardous area i.e.
Hospital, Spacecraft , Military area)

VLC History
Information delivery using mirror reflection (Heliograph)
The use of fire or lamp (Beacon fire, Lighthouse, Morse
code)
Traffic light : (LEDs color multiplexing)
