日益增长的无线通信业务需求意味着射频系统越来越不能支持用户的需求。因此，人们对使用可见光通信(VLC)的兴趣与日俱增，包括对敏感的VLC接收器的兴趣。由于它们具有探测单光子的潜力，硅光电倍增管(SiPM)可能被用来制造最灵敏的VLC接收器。本文报道了确定现成SiPM的最佳偏置电压和动态范围的实验结果。结果表明，在500Lux的环境光下，该接收机支持大于2Gbps的数据速率，误码率为10(-3)。
The growing demand for wireless communications services means that RF systems are increasingly unable to support user's requirement. Consequently, there is a growing interest in using visible light communication (VLC), including interest in sensitive VLC receivers. Since they have the potential to detect single photons, silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) could potentially be used to create the most sensitive possible VLC receivers. In this paper, results of experiments to determine the optimum bias voltage and dynamic range of an off-the-shelf SiPM are reported. Results are then presented which show that in 500 lux of ambient light this receiver supports data rates of more than 2 Gbps with a bit-error-rate (BER) of 10(-3).
