Abstract

The coherent light communication systems have several advantages compared to the intensity-modulation direct-detection systems (IM-DD). The most important advantages are that offer increases transmission capacity and in principle they will limit only by the shot noise. However, there are important conditions for these systems, are that the beams must be mutually coherent, with the same polarization and, mechanisms to compensate the slow shift phase. Therefore the construction of these systems is generally most expensive that IM-DD systems. Nevertheless the use of adaptive photodetectors allows an easy implementation of this type of systems. In this work the results of a system that evaluates distances by means of an ultrasonic sensor and a coherent light communication system to send the information, with an adaptive detector based on the photo-EMF effect, are shown.
