Abstract
With little interference from atmospheric environment, the prospect of ultraviolet (UV) communication in the solar blind region (220 nm–280 nm) is promising. Due to the large path-loss propagation and the no-line-of-sight (NLOS) attenuation, the intensities of UV beams may be severely degraded, and thereby the efficient transmission distance is heavily decreased. In this paper, we design and implement a scheme of UV communication system, with polar channel coding to enhance the efficient transmission distance. Both numerical and experimental results show that our scheme is able to reach a longer efficient transmission distance in contrast with the existing low-density parity-check (LDPC) scheme and uncoded OOK scheme, in the UV communication system.
