Design and Implementation of a Light Fidelity System for Image Transmission
Hasan J. Hasan, Zeyad Adnan Saleh, Mazin Ali A. Ali and Mohammed Y.Kamil

The light fidelity (Li-Fi) technology is a new idea in optical wireless communication system which uses a light-emitting diode (LED) as a transmitter source. In this work, the Li-Fi technology is used to transmit data for indoor optical wireless communication applications. A white LED is used as a source and a solar cell is employed as a detector. The transmitted data was an image sent between two computers. The link distance was of 100 cm. The data was an image sent between two computers. The link distance was of 100 cm with line of sight (LOS) concept. Hot air was used to study effect of temperature on the receiver image. Some metrics used to assess the quality of the image such as mean square error (MSE) and received power were established.
