Giga-Bit Transmission Between an Eye-Safe Transmitter and Wide Field-of-View SiPM Receiver
In this paper, the performance of a wide field of view VLC receiver that includes a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) is reported. In particular, a receiver field of view of ±45° and On-Off keying data rates of 1.8 Gbps are demonstrated in 500 lux of ambient light. These results a...

Unlike other optical filters the performance of absorption filters is not sensitive to angle of incidence. Consequently, the FOV is explained by a combination of the changes to the receiver’s projected area, the path length of light in the filters and reflections from the filter surfaces.
