With the rapid development of the light-emitting diode (LED) industry, interest in visible light communication (VLC) is growing. The limited bandwidth of commercial LEDs is one of the main challenges to achieve high-speed VLC. In this Letter, a kind of bandwidth-efficient VLC system based on carrierless amplitude and phase (CAP) modulation is proposed, where a simple differential faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) pre-coding scheme is employed to compress the spectrum and further improve the overall system baud rate. The system is experimentally demonstrated with a data rate of 1.47-Gb/s over 1.5 m free space transmission. The results indicate that an improvement of 80 Mbaud is achieved by FTN-CAP4 at 20% subband overlap and 40 Mbaud rate improvement by FTN-CAP16 at 7.5% subband overlap. Compared with traditional CAP, the FTN pre-coded CAP shows a better performance in spectral efficiency (SE) and intercarrier interference resistance. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to employ FTN pre-coded CAP in indoor high-data-rate VLC systems.

可见光大气传输系统面临的主要问题在于由大气湍流引起的光强闪烁和来自日光及其他照明设备的强背景光干扰，为了克服大气湍流造成的信道衰落效应及强背景光带来的噪声干扰问题，对室外可见光通信(VLC)强背景光大气湍流信道进行了建模。在接收端采用分集接收技术，在相同的发射功率下提高系统误码率(BER)性能。构建了在强背景光大气湍流信道模型下基于强度检测脉冲位置调制(PPM)方式的室外长距离可见光分集接收系统模型，在几十微瓦功率背景光噪声下，实现了800 Mb/s PPM 信号的仿真系统传输。基于此系统分别研究对比了最大比合并(MRC)、等增益合并(EGC)、选择性合并(SC)3 种分集合并方式的误码率性能。结果表明，在相同的发射功率下，误码率性能提升最大的是MRC，其次是EGC，SC 最差。以7%前向纠错码(FEC)误码门限作为参考，MRC 能显著降低对LED 发射功率的要求，并且随着分集支路个数的增多，分集效果越好。
