摘要
Faced with growing demands for high-speed and reliable communication systems, optical intelligent reflecting surfaces (OIRS) have recently attracted a lot of interest in visible light communication (VLC). With potential applications in a variety of scenarios, including indoor wireless communications and the Internet of Things (IoT), OIRS is expected to have a transformative impact on optical wireless communications. However, current research is predominantly theoretical, and the hardware implementation of OIRS is insufficient. Therefore, this paper introduces an OIRS prototype based on a mirror array, which is capable of adjusting the reflected lightwave by manipulating the orientation of individual OIRS units to realize an adjustable optical wireless communication environment. Additionally, a hardware platform with a configurable control system for OIRS-based VLC has been developed in this paper. Finally, experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in the amplitude of the received signal and the signal-to-noise ratio of the developed prototype, thereby verifying the enhancement of communication efficiency and the potential of practical OIRS deployment.
