Optical wireless communication systems offer several advantages over their radio frequency counter parts. For example, cost, wavelength re-usability and a large unregulated bandwidth are among the advantages. The limitations of this technique include the optical power safety issue, multipath dispersion and interference from ambient light and background radiation. In this project, pulse position modulation is used for receiver sensitivity improvement, and code division multiple access is exploited to provide multiple access facilities. The limitations of an optical wireless system are studied and methods for performance improvement are suggested.
