The above figure shows our recent work on exploring the use of a single stage of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) for making fluorescent antennas for optical wireless communication. We successfully demonstrate that the use of this new antenna technique can increase the transmission data rate by 7 times.

The Kuraray fluorescent fibers we recently studied in a white LED based VLC system. These fibers can be used to simultaneously achieve optical filtering and light concentration. Also, it be used to build a compact VLC receiver with a wide FOV.
The VLC setup used to test the performance of the fluorescent fibers. The obtained results are published in Optics Express. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.481017

The above picture shows our holographic filter experiment setup. In this work, we made very compact holographic filters which are both directional and capable of optical filtering. @ Monash Uni, 2019.
I designed the above VLC MIMO testbed to experimentally demonstrate the performance of the Angular Diversity Aperture (ADA) receivers. @ Monash University, 2016.
