Abstract

A direct current (DC) bias is required in DC-biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) to enable visible light communication (VLC). However, the addition of the DC-bias leads to electrical and optical power inefficiency. An experimental demonstration of an energy efficient superposition modulation technique is presented based on augmented spectral efficiency discrete multitone (ASE-DMT) transmission. Significant energy savings of up to 14.27 dB are achieved in comparison with DCO-OFDM at low DC bias. The results highlight the potential of ASE-DMT in spectrum and energy efficient light fidelity (LiFi) systems.
