Introduction to Li-Fi / Visible Light Communication
What is Li-Fi / VLC ?
Use of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit information.
LED light bulbs are turned into high speed wireless communication devices, a bit like a Wi-Fi, hence the name Li-Fi
Introduction to Li-Fi / Visible Light Communication
Professor Harald Haas, an expert in optical wireless communications
The D-Light project
Haas promoted this technology in his 2011 TED Global talk
Pure Li-fi, formerly pure VLC, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) firm set up to commercialize Li-Fi products

Li-Fi Vs Wi-Fi
PRESENT SCENARIO:
We have 1.4 million cellular radio waves base stations deployed.
We also have over 5 billion of mobile phones.
Wireless communication has become a utility like electricity & water.
Currently Wi-Fi uses Radio waves for communication.
Four Issues with Radio Waves:
Capacity
Efficiency
Availability
Security
Li-Fi Vs Wi-Fi
Li-Fi, or light fidelity, refers to 5G visible light communication system
optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (O-OFDM)
The LIFI product consists of 4 primary sub-assemblies
• Bulb
• RF power amplifier circuit (PA)
• Printed circuit board (PCB)
• Enclosure

Li-Fi Construction / Working
If the LED is on, you transmit a digital 1, if it’s off you transmit a 0.
Convert Light to Data
We have to just vary the rate at which the LED’s flicker
Red, Green and Blue LEDs for different data channel.
Such advancements promise a theoretical speed of 10 GBps –i.e. you can download a full high-definition film in just 30 seconds.

Five Reasons to Promote Li-Fi Technologies
Features of Li-Fi Technologies
It is two way communications that uses medium of light.
It is a safe technology to transfer confidential matters.
Fluorescent light transmits a meaningful amount of data by frequently
flickering
The preferred light sources are fluorescent lights and LEDs.
Photo diodes are used as receivers which can turn light into electrical
signals
Every source of lights can be used as transmitter in VLC
Advantages of Li-Fi Technologies
Long service life (10-15 years while usual bulbs last 1-2 years)
Energy Saving (8W LED bulb=60W ordinary Bulb)
Light emitting Diodes are a source of light (release large amount of
energy in the form of light)
Can be switched on/off at very high speed
Energy Efficiency
High speed data transfer
It’s main advantage is it’s bandwidth, It is 10,000 times than the
radio waves

Applications of Li-Fi Technologies
What will be the effect of interferences from external light sources like
sun light & normal bulbs?
What about the limited bandwidth of the existing copper cables used
for electrical connections?
Where do the connections uplink, how serious are the modifications
needed to the power grid?
How will other devices react if you inject a high frequency into mains?
Initial setup cost.
Presence of light is essential.
There should be line of sight.
